Traded: Republic Tricone Resonator -price drop

What's Hot
TeyeplayerTeyeplayer Frets: 3857
edited March 25 in Acoustics £
Traded.

 
Proper Tricone with a lovely resonant sound at a fraction of the cost of a National. Picked this up last year during a buying stage, I’m now on a purge with a very specific bit of gas. These have a great reputation for a reason and it really is a lovely guitar. Set up by Leicestershire Luthiers in December and currently set up for finger style and slide. Odd scuff and ding from age but nothing that impacts playability. I believe this to be a proper bell brass body, coated in a gun metal grey lacquer/paint.

Foibles of this particular guitar are a slightly off centre third fret marker and a tight truss rod channel that had to be opened up slightly during its recent set up. I understand that this was a case of shaving a minor bit of wood either side of the channel to enable the truss wrench to get the required turn. Just want to be above board.

Comes in a very tatty lightweight foam case. You’ll probably want to replace it, but it does the job for shipping. Collection from North Northamptonshire just off the A14, or can post at your risk. I believe parcel force 48 are roughly £25.

Got it up for more elsewhere, call it £425
here. Final drop to £400

    Everyone should succumb to the desire for a bit of filth once in a while. ;)

    Final bump before I keep this. Just dropped it into conversation that there are gaps that could be filled on the wall. lol 

    The resonator would be number one of the four (illustrated by the purple lines I have scribbled on the image).

    That’s a recent-ish Gibson ES345 in the middle. Bigsby B3 and Towner added because what is a guitar without a Bigsby? :) German made Hofner verythin at the end. It’s had some dodgy relic work on the bridge and tuners so these are due to be changed, with a duesenberg trem waiting to go on.

    Truss rod cavity opened and guitar set up by Leicestershire Luthiers. They’ve done a grand job, it plays lovely and I am tempted to keep it.

    Back up. My New Year’s resolution is to try a PRS in the year ahead, so I need to raise some guitar tokens.

    Giving this a bump. Really is a lovely thing, but like most of my guitars I don’t need it and I have no interest in them being wall art.
