Back on market: 1994 Froggy Bottom F14 cutaway in spruce/koa $3300 shipped
 

A few weeks ago, I was happily driving along home from work. Out of nowhere, a reckless driver ran me off the road, and I majorly sideswiped a fire hydrant trying to avoid cars parked on the side of the street. Thankfully no one was hurt and I managed to damage only my property, so long story short, I have to sell my other property to fund repairs!


Next up is a 1994 F-14 standard in spruce (I think sitka, but again, will have to confirm) and koa. This one is a standard, but has a number of upgrades including a florentine cutaway and bound headstock. This one has multi-colored purfles and Schaller machines. I think the measures are also consistent with those on the site, but I'll confirm that, too. Structurally, it is perfect, but cosmetically is a little worse off than the P. This one has very minimal checking, less so than the P (just a few small ones on the top and two on the back). There are a few small scattered dings, though nothing too major here and there, but the back has a few small dings, and several (may 15-20) small areas of "weirdness" in the finish. It looks almost like finish had sunken into the grain in, or almost like a few drops of acetone made their way onto the back and slightly attacked the finish. It came to me this way, so I have no idea what the story is, and I honestly didn't even find it for a few days once I took delivery of it, and I just happened to notice it in a reflection from an overhead light. If you are really picky, you won't want it, but I think do all of these areas will buff out completely or close to it. They're quite small and don't bother me so I haven't tried. I could get only the worst of them to show up in the photos. There are also some marks on the back of the headstock that looks like a tuner or capo was kept clamped to the head. There was a pickup mounted at some point, but it has been removed. Not sure of the case brand, but it is a totally acceptable HSC.

GLWS. Froggy's are truly special instruments. For anyone who has been jones-ing for a Frog, this is as good a time as any. And yes, they are as good the hype suggests.

I could not agree more!

Both still available

Prices are OBO

$300 price drops on each

P now $SOLD
F now $3600

I'll leave these up a few more days before posting to Reverb. I'd much rather keep these in the AGF family, but need to find new homes. I think they'll go pretty quickly there, so don't dilly dally.

These seem like crazy good prices for Froggies.

Monday bump, heading to Reverb soon!

P is sold

F is still up for grabs!

TGIF bump!!!!

Sunday bump!

Did you ever confirm the top wood? Looks like Sitka to me but I thought I'd ask just in case. Thx.

Still waiting on confirmation. I’ll update once it is received.

Still available

Best Bargain on the AGF....by a country mile.
 

If I wasn't Froggied out myself then I would have to buy this one. Can't believe it's not sold yet. This guitar must be so open due to it's age & the koa is to die for. I can only imagine a very firm, articulate, rich & complex Froggy signature tone coming from this one. And the F/0000 is so versatile & will do all styles well. And Jimmy is one of the nicest guys on the planet so no one can go wrong on this smoking deal. GLWS.

thanks neil! great speaking with you the other day :)

I thought that all Froggies came standard with Adirondack tops unless otherwise specified.

Thanks for the note. According to Michael at Froggy Bottom, Adirondack tops were standard at that time. However, he believes it is sitka...this is part of the message I received from him:

"I believe it’s a sitka top from some wood harvested in 1948 and which I bought in 1968 or 1969 from a man who ran a boatyard in Branford, CT where I worked in high school and college. "

Wood stories...
 

I LOVE wood stories like this!

If this was a 12 fret... I would be in trouble. :)

Someone will be in tone heaven.

They are TOOLS, not fetish objects. At least for me! Hahaha

Be well

Paul

Happy Friday bump

Bump it up....
 

Come on guys, can't believe this one is still here. What a steal at this price. This guitar will be well broken in by now & koa is heavenly when opened up. This a premium Froggy F with substantial upgrades & will do all styles well. Jimmy is one incredibly fussy guy when it comes to tone so this must be special. Shame he has to sell it & I'm sure it must be a wrench to let it go. I'm almost tempted to take this one myself because I've never seen a Froggy of this quality priced so low. Somoene take this one before I go into Froggy overload myself. GLWS.
