VERY nice guitar! Can you give take on tone. Thanks...Robert

What are you looking to trade for?

[pirassic]

I made a video:
please forgive the sloppiness of playing, lighting and such.

I tried to capture the tone as much as I could, but it would require a much better mic.

Here's the link:

To me, tone is just magical .. it has this sort of "shimmering" aurea in the middle to treble range that is just unique.

I'm looking to trade for a 14 fret 00. I particularly like mahogany+adirondack combos because i'm looking for a more "in your face", raw sound.
I already have some others 12 fretters.

[roberts]

No apologies needed. Your playing was great and the recording is one of the more natural I've heard. Really nice guitar....Robert

[pirassic]

Some interest shown in the guitar, but still available

[fil.tan]

Wath a great sounding guitar !
This instrument is a little jewel, guys ...

[pirassic]

Still available

[roberts]

This guitar is a little killer!

[pirassic]

Just tightened the truss rod a bit, made the action super super comfortable.
It's even more a joy to play. Bumping it!

[pirassic]

..And bumped up, still available!

[SongwriterFan]

Nice!

What would that be in US$ shipped to the US?

Hopefully far more than I'd be willing to spend.

[pirassic]

At today's rate it would be 2974 US$.
I can make it 2900 *including* shipping.
