Default KRAUT OM AMAZON **SOLD**

OK, let me try this....In this tough market where nothing sells easily, I'm offering a world class instrument at an extremely favorable price. This is a 2009 Kraut OM in gorgeous Amazon rosewood with Euro spruce top. It's the finest guitar in my modest collection and one of the best guitars I've ever played, period. If you've played one of Ray's guitars you understand when I say there's an extra dimension to its tone. There's a density behind each note that you not only hear but feel in your hands. Bass is thunderous and overall sound concussive, deep, warm, yet articulate. Neck is a shallow C with wider shoulders, with perfect playability and original setup that does not need to be touched.

I bought this off the forum a number of years ago. Previouis owner played it a little less respectfully than I would so there's some wear on top, a ding in the headstock, a small chip in edge of saddle, and a 1 1/2 inch indentation in a grain line that may or may not be a subtle crack that does not break the finish. Ray inspected this and could not say for sure but did note it terminates where he places a top brace so it's irrelevant. This was there when I received the guitar has has not budged since. Why someone would feel the need to install a pickup on this guitar is beyond me but they did and removed it before shipping to me. Ebony Colosi endpin fills that hole.

Standard Kraut OM specs:
1 3/4 nut
25.0 - 25.2" scale
15 3/4" lower bout
2 1/4" spacing
4 1/4" depth at tail
Alessi tuners
pinless bridge

Ray's base price is curently $13,000 if you get a spot in his queue. I'm asking $XXXX.

Oh Robert.... you have the most wonderful guitars! I played one of Ray's guitars at Woodstock a few years ago- it was a joy. I can only imagine how it would feel to play this one! If I hadn't just added another guitar a few months ago.....

Wonderful seller and a great builder- what a combination!

GLWS-

I mis-read the title and thought Ray Kraut was selling guitars ON Amazon (as in amazon.com).
