In a separate post, Bruce mentions he has 19 guitars and needs to trim down a bit. Happens to all of us...
This is an amazing guitar. Have not played a Kinnaird, but they are very well respected on this forum. Bruce is a great seller, deal in complete confidence. |

Ooooohhhhhh.....
John Kinnaird's guitars smoke everything I have ever owned or PLAYED!
I have three now and another on order!!! And my pal Steve ordered one after playing my first two. The sound and playability are WORLD CLASS, IMHO. Well, actually, " not so humble opinion!" And, JK is a lovely guy and a hoot to talk with. Someone will absolutely love this guitar. Best on the sale and play it while you can! Cheers Paul

DROOL!! I had John build me two guitars, a couple years apart. I've bought and sold perhaps 30 since then (my hobby) but still have the Kinnairds. Oh yes, amazing tone and beauty. Good luck.

You Guys Are All On Target - Awesome Guitar
Thanks to all you knowledgeable AGF'ers! You guys get this guitar...yep, an amazing build, builder and tonal guitar!
Glenwillow Cigarfan Carmel Cedar Rogthefrong Super B23 Guitars 44 (San Diego homeboy lol) Daleoncedar Palolowarrior And to Jimbo1776, one of my colleagues answered your question as to why I am selling. I have 19 guitars, the best of the best and have been so blessed to have been able to play the and own all the top builder's guitars. I am not playing as much, have become addicted to pickleball and am more comfortable with my 8 factory guitars (2 electrics) and about 7 custom crafted guitars. That is why I have the Kinnard, Laurie Williams and Weber listed. It gets real, real hard to whittle down as all 11 customs are pretty much the cream of the crop in this arena. The buyer of any of my guitars will always be happy. I've bought and sold a lot of instruments and they all have been, pretty consistently, "keepers". Get yourself one of the best.........this one and the Williams........they don't make them like these two!

If:
1. It sounds half as good as it looks... 2. It were an 0-size instrument that would take to strumming/flatpicking 3. I could get close to affording this, I'd be knocking at your door. Best of luck, Eric |
