FS/ FT- 2012 Taran Tirga Beag for Sale

dshevy

Hey All,

 After a lot of thinking, I am looking to sell my 2012 African Blackwood Tirga Beag. It is a fantastic guitar but I own a Sobell that I personally prefer with a super wide neck. The Taran has a more traditional neck width at 45mm nut and it has a great shallow C shape so it feels really nice under the left hand but it’s just personal preference that a like the extra width the Sobell has.

The guitar is in fantastic condition and has been played but not gigged since I owned it. You can see/ hear it in a couple of my videos:

Rory’s guitars have changed a fair bit since 2012 but so have their price! When I emailed Rory to ask about a replacement price, £25k+ for the most basic guitar in the same woods was the quote and that’s without the £250+ of pickup etc..

 Below are the key specs:

 Top: Italian Spruce

B/S: African Blackwood

Neck: Mahogany

Bridge: Ebony

Fingerboard: Ebony

Nut Width: 45mm

String Spacing at Saddle: 57mm

Scale Length: 650mm

Gotoh 510 with custom blackwood buttons.

French Polished Interior

Pickup 1: JJB Prestige 330 SBT

Pickup 2: LR Baggs Element

Case: Hiscox Pro 2

I am happy to sell outright but also would consider a part trade or full trade for a high quality, traditional 000-12 fret (Bown/ Dave King/ Oddy ideally but a high spec Collings or Santa Cruz might work too as a PX). Given that one was on Ebay for £18k a while back and that Rory just sold one on his website for £31k+; I feel that £9,000 O.N.O would be reasonable. Happy to discuss PX possibility’s on PM

 I am happy to ship the guitar, at buyers’ cost, within the UK and have a very good packing method that has worked very well in the past. I am in London but would be happy to arrange a middle ground location for PX/ delivery.

 Please message me with any questions.

Wow, such a beautiful guitar. I love the simple yet elegant design of these guitars, there’s something about the curves that and proportions that flows beautifully. 

The tone, response and sustain give such depth and complexity based on what Ive listened to. Ive not had the chance to play one and certainly not in a position to afford one but I hope to try one, one day.

Bump and £8,500 O.N.O as well as still open to PX for a handmade 000-12 fret. 

That’s over 60% below the price of a new Taran and Rory’s order book is closed.
