Default 2012 Bianchin 12 Fret

Hello folks. For your consideration, we've got a unique and truly amazing instrument fresh from the shop of John David Bianchin. Dave has been building for 31 years and is truly a master of his craft. You can see some of his work here:

Bianchin Guitars

This 12 Fret is sized from an original form that is right in between a 00 and a 000. It features a German spruce top, Panama rosewood back/sides and back strap, mahogany neck, ebony fret board, maple body binding, and Madagascar rosewood bridge, fret board binding, and head stock overlay. Grover open back tuners, bone nut/saddle/pins, diamond inlays, and A4 Axis rosette and purfling obtained from Kevin Ryan complete the package. It's got a 25.4" scale with a 1 3/4" nut and features a hybrid bracing pattern with a transverse brace and one tone bar.

Here is a link to high resolution photos.

To say that this guitar is a true joy to play would be a gross understatement. It's really an expressive instrument with fantastic dynamics and excellent projection. A very comfortable neck profile and really an easy guitar to bond with.

Asking price is $3500 with a nice hardshell case, though reasonable offers from AGF members will be considered.
