What's Hot
I bought this two weeks ago, but I decided to keep my Huss & Dalton 000 instead.
This is a super guitar, with an amazing sound, but I just don’t need two acoustics (and I’m mostly an electric player).

Excellent but not dink free condition: worst mark is on the side of the neck (fifth fret, bump to the edge of the board ebony) and a tiny dink on the front.
I bought it for £535, which is amazing value for this build. So that is what I’d like for it. It came to me without a case, so I bought one for £135. Happy to sell with or without the case (but would rather sell with the case). Happy to sell both for £635, plus postage.
It came to me with a Headway under saddle pick-up, which I have had removed. There is currently a wooden end pin where the jack was. It is not glued in and everything is very easily reversible. Headway included.
Always up for considering trades. Money either way.
Comments
What's the neck profile like? I take it it's a bolt on neck? Any sound clips?
Feels to me like a pretty standard medium C neck profile? Not a handful, not slim.
There is a single bolt visible from looking in the soundhole.
But I'm looking for a more traditional "American" type sound for strumming and flatpicking.
