Default David Wren Concert- UK based

Up for trade is a stunning David Wren Concert model.

This is what Linda Manzer said of this actual guitar, "David Wren's guitar was simply awe inspiring - to look at - gorgeous, to play - I couldn't put it down. One of the most inspiring builders ever."

All specs below. I particularly like the sound port and the arm bevel. It also comes with a nice book with pictures of various stages of the build.

Hankering for a more traditional Martin design, ideally am 000/OM or a Dread. If I had the money to buy another and keep this...blah, blah, blah!

Trade value- £3000.

* Master Grade Lutz spruce top
* Old growth East Indian rosewood back and sides
* Arm bevel
* 14 frets to the body
* 25.4” scale
* 1 23/32" nut width :
* Soundport
* 2 3/16" string spacing at saddle :
* 16” lower bout
* Mahogany neck
* No cutaway
* "Wren" inlay logo at 5th fret
* Snakewood top border
* Snakewood bindings
* Snakewood headstock veneer
* No position markers (with side dots)
* Spalted maple rosette
* Ebony fretboard
* Ebony bridge
* Premium Gotoh 510 tuners
* Ebonoid tuner buttons
* Bone nut and saddle
* Bone bridge pins
* Shellac finish
* Clear pickguard
