Default Froggy Bottom H14K Koa Cutaway, '97

Available now, my very nice Froggy Bottom, H14 Koa Cutaway, 1997

Most everyone here knows the quality of these custom made Vermont guitars,
and this one is especially sweet. Also has a Fishman under bridge pickup.
Bright as you expect from Koa, thumpy bass, especially for the smaller body size.
Plays like a dream.

I am asking $5095. Not really looking for a trade, but if you happen to have a Collings cutaway... I'm listening.
The guitar is in excellent shape, it does have a couple marks from my pick, which I have had professionally filled.
If you are interested, pictures are here:

Not too sure how specs might have changed from a 1997 build to today? Nut width, string spacing etc would be helpful.

Hey guys, thanks for the questions. I just talked with Andy, and he'll supply me all the info he can.
The top is Englemann Spruce. Nut 1 3/4" (most likely) and string spacing is 2 3/16.

It was first sold thru Maple Leak guitars, Brattleboro, VT. anything else?
thanks

An interesting time to pick up a classic Froggy Bottom.
One of Michael's earliest masterpieces in Koa! he's since retired;

Does your H14 need any work (i.e. frets, neck set, cracks)? Do you happen to have a recording of your guitar? If so please send it to me at: [email protected]
Thanks.
Jim

Hi Jim, sorry I have been offline (with Dead & Co in Boulder.. lol)
I had a brace re-glued a few years back. there are a couple cosmetic imperfections (pick marks, I have had filled).

I could make a quick recording and send...
it sounds amazing, of course!!
