Want To Buy: Small Bodied Guitar for UK buyer.

[wezzywest]

Hi, I am looking for a small bodied guitar. This would be a Parlour size up to a size 0 or the particular makers equivalent. I am looking for a low profile or C shape neck, with a nut width of 1 13/16ths or 1 3/4 inch. The string spacing at the bridge would preferably be 2 5/16ths, or maybe 2 1/4 inches. The scale length 24.9. The preferred measurments are the same as my Brook Taw, which is why I am aiming to get as close to these as possible. My favoured woods are Mahogany and spruce, although I am open to other combinations. I mainly play country Blues and Rags. The max price would be $1800, this is to factor in postage to the UK and the dreaded 20% VAT at my end
So thanks for reading my post, any advice as to what is out there is valued. As are offers of potential sales.
Cheers.

I bought the guitar last October after having shoulder surgery thinking it would be easier on my shoulder to play but unfortunately it is not comfortable for me due to the surgery. It is in pristine (brand new) condition having hardly been played. The quilted mahogany is stunning and it sounds beautiful. It includes the original Larrivee hardshell case. If it was not for the shoulder issue I would not be selling it. I am asking $1,250 plus shipping. If there is interest I can email you pictures.

Thanks for the reply,
Do you know what the string spacing at the bridge is ? I think I read somewhere that it is 2 3/16ths, although I stand to be corrected.
Thanks once again.
Cheers.

Hi,
Nice guitar but a wee bit to big for me.

Thank you for the replies. The McKnight guitar featured in the build sure looks beautiful and I will be checking out TAMCO again.
Chris, thanks for the generous offer, if something comes up in my price range similar to your guitars
