Sold - my Seth Baccus Nautilus
What's Hot
NOW SOLD
You all know how the story goes...
I'd been selling and saving to buy a Patrick James Eggle Macon when I got distracted and ended up buying this, and I was not disappointed. However, the Macon is an itch I have to scratch, so am looking to trade this for a Macon (any variant considered) if anyone has one?
Value wise, I think they're of similar worth but I'm open for discussion and may be able to add a small amount for something special.
Price to buy added: £
2200
Other trade possibilities: Gibson Les Paul Std (plus cash my way)
So back to the Nautilus - this is an absolutely stunning guitar made in the UK back in 2015 by the highly regarded Seth Baccus. This particular example is a Nautilus Modern - check out Seth's site for more details, but as you'll see, they start from over £4k!

Comments
The thing is, I love this guitar and it's only the desire for a Macon that's making me consider letting it go - my hesitation about a straight sale is that I might not find a Macon. Now logic would suggest that with a bit of patience a Macon would turn up and I'd be in the good position of having cash ready - but this doesn't allow for stupidity which would inevitably mean that between selling this and finding a Macon I'd have blown the cash on 3 Encores, a Hondo and a 1986 Marlin!
Having said all that - feel free to contact me with a cash offer and it may just tempt me...
A rather niche 2 week bump...
Possibly some cash to add to this for the right trade! I haven't ruled out a straight sale of the Nautilus so feel free to message me to discuss.
Edit: sold
