[scottcw]

NOT interested in trades, thanks.

Dream Guitars recently listed a cutaway Model 1 with Cocobolo back/sides (not Brazilian like mine) for $11,330. Get this one for $8000 net to me. No PayPal, thanks for understanding. Pick up available if you are in the SF Bay area.

For sale is a 1990 Sobell Butterfly German Spruce and Brazilian Rosewood. Nut width is 1.75 inches, scale length is 25.5 inches, saddle spacing is 2-5/16 inches (58mm). There is an under saddle pick up installed, likely a Highlander. Original hard case.

It is in very good condition. It does have a repaired surface crack on the treble side. Donal said it was repaired by a very well known luthier in the USA. I took it to Gryphon in Palo Alto for a look, they said it is professionally repaired with a cleat and is stable.

As noted, Donal Clancy used this guitar on his album On the Lonesome Plain. It is the guitar he’s holding on the cover so if you want the hear the guitar have a listen to the album. https://www.donalclancy.com/home
