Control cavity will be made from walnut, rosewood, or maple, youre pick, the rosewood one is strictly for show.

I am asking 700 (price down from 950), hardcase is an extra 50. comes with life-time free maintenance, non-transferable. Free setups, etc., buyer is to pay all EXPENSES.

 

Trades : Only high dollar items, mesa amps, gibson guitars, whatever i could sell to get what i need for the guitar. only single items please, no "bundles"

 

I also do custom work, custom guitars start at 1,000.

That is one sweet guitar, a shame nobody will buy it, just goes to show how hard pressed people are for cash these days. I'm not a big fan of reverse headstocks ( strictly a visual preference ) but I'm so in favor of small luthiers like yourself and the work you do, if I had the cash right now instead of 20+ guitars I'd take it off your hands.
