Kerry Char L-00 Brazilian
The build quality of this beautiful L-00 style guitar by Kerry Char of Portland Oregon is sublime.
What more could you ask for; German spruce top with sides and back of Brazilian rosewood. The guitar has a vibrant, shimmering, well balanced Brazilian Rosewood tone with smooth playability and lots of tonal personality for blues and fingerstyle. The tobacco burst German Spruce top is particularly gorgeous. Price is 3000 dollars plus shipping and insurance. Price is firm. No trades. You wont find a better luthier-made instrument (old growth straight grain Brazilian rosewood on back and sides) at anywhere near this price. The guitar ships from College Station Texas. Comes with a really cool faux alligator hard shell case. I bought it from Dream Guitars about 4 years ago. Here are the specs: Back/Sides: Brazilian Rosewood Top Wood: German Spruce Fingerboard: Brazilian Rosewood Neck Wood: Mahogany Bridge: Brazilian Rosewood Rosette: Ivoroid/Tortoise/Ivoroid Binding: Ivoroid Fingerboard Bindings: Ivoroid Headplate: Macassar Ebony Headstock Bindings: Ivoroid Headstock Inlay: Builder Logo, Abalone Top Trim: Ivoroid/Tortoise/Ivoroid Back Strip: None Fret Markers: Dots Tuners: Gotoh 510 open back Tuner Finish: Nickel With Pearl Buttons Measurements Body Size: Small Scale: 25 in. (635 mm) Nut Width: 1 3/4 in. (44.5 mm) String Spacing: 2 1/16 in. (52.3 mm) Body Length: 19 5/8 in. Upper Bout: 10 1/4 in. Lower Bout: 14 1/2 in. Body Depth @Neck Heel: 3 3/4 in. Body Depth @Tail Block: 4 1/2 in. Frets to body: 14 You can see photos of my guitar on the Dream Guitar website under sold guitars by searching for Char. You can hear the guitar played by Al Pettiway on you tube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?featur...&v=ONj-Ki1x4c4. .

Are you sure that string spacing is correct?

Steven, the string spacing is as stated. Measured accurately more than once. Thanks for your interest. The guitar plays easily both fingerstyle and with a pick.

Bump for a great guitar and deal
No affiliation with the seller, but a long-time fan of Kerry Char.
I've owned five of his guitars over the years, and all have been great. The price for this guitar is the surcharge most Luthier's charge for a set of BRW. Wow. GLWTS. Bob
