Default 2017 David Wren Custom MS-1–Spruce/Coco--Sold

I hate to post this...it’s actually killing me to do so, but per my other threads I have to list just about everything I have to find some medical bills for my son. He was born premature and the bills keep rolling in, so without further ado, I am posting this magnificently wonderful Modern Slope Dread by David Wren. I am the second owner and actually just acquired the guitar through a trade and cash deal a few months ago. The original build thread can be found at this link: https://www.acousticguitarforum.com/...ght=David+Wren

This guitar is among the best sounding I have ever owned and for that reason pray the rest of my guitars sell first and can keep this beauty!

This model is Spruce top with Cocobolo back and sides. It has a side port and the extended fingerboard which is setup similar to a McPherson style fingerboard where it allows the top to resonate freely. The Guitar will also come with the upgraded Hoffee Case. The Guitar cost to build and ship to the US plus the upgraded case put the guitar over $8k. Asking price is $4950 and includes shipping (fully insured) to lower 48.

Specs:
* Nut Width--1.75"
* String Spacing--2.25"
* 16 1/8" lower bout dimension
* 10 5/8" waist with 11 3/8" upper bout
* 3 5/8" deep at neck : 4 1/2" deep at butt
* 25.4" scale lenght
* 14 fret neck-to-body joint
*select Sitka spruce top
* tropical mahogany or Indian rosewood back and sides
* side port
* bone nut
* dovetail plus bolt neck joint
* tropical mahogany neck
* intonation compensated bone saddle
* ebony fingerboard
* adjustable truss rod
* ebony bridge
* wood bindings and purfling
* French Polish finish
* Upgraded Hoffee Case

I was the original owner of this beauty and it is a wonderful guitar. I traded for a McPherson for more of a pure strummer but this guitar is more versatile. Great for strumming and fingerstyle, both. I'm sorry to hear that your medical bills are causing you to list this guitar. I can tell anyone here who is interested that this seller is a trustworthy person and stand-up guy. He is not flipping it. This is the value for which I traded and a significant savings from new. BTW, this guitar is only one year old. Good luck. I'm available if anyone has questions for me as I originally commissioned the guitar directly from David Wren, another awesome human being. Best of luck on the sale.

Wow doubt this will last long..David Wren makes some absurdly great guitars! If I didn’t have an incoming Beneteau this would be a hard consideration..

I had a buyer lined up for this guitar, but haven't been able to get in contact with them in the past few days, so I am putting this back on the market and bumping up to the top.
