Default Luthier-Made Top Of The Line Travel Guitar/ Vagabond "HOBO" with pickup and gig bag

I've tried them all and the best acoustic travel guitars by far are by Kevin Smith of Stringsmith. The rest of them are just unplayable junk and don't feel or play like real guitars. But I now have several of them and I just don't need them all so I'm thinning the herd! This is his top-of-the-line travel guitar and it is currently used on tour by Mike Gordon of Phish among many others (Neil Young, Jill Sobule, etc.). It is really much more than a travel guitar as this one has a pick up installed so you can plug and play anywhere! Comes with sturdy Road Runner gig bag. It is in great shape other than some visible pick scratches on the top which can probably be polished out if you so desire. So easy to play and the tone and volume unplugged belies its size.

ASKINg $900 OR BEST OFFER plus shipping (sells for $1400 new with pickup if you can even find one as they are back ordered). Here are the specs:

• Length: 88 cm (34.5") Width: 27 cm (10 5/8") Depth: 7 cm (2 3/4") Weight: 1.36 KG (3 LB)
• Rosewood Laminate back and sides
• Ivoroid (looks like ivory) bindings
• Transparent Pickguard
• Schaller Mini-Tuners
• Radius Fretboard
• Bone Nut

Grab this one before someone else does!

I have heard the builder play this model.

Agree with the seller, it is a great sounding travel guitar, excels at finger style.
