Please keep in mind that the guitar I am selling is NOT the one featured in the video but he provides a nice backstory of how the guitars came about. He ordered a run of 4 or 5 of these guitars between 2014-2016 and mine was one of the last ones he received. A second video of one of the other guitars in this run can be found at

Tuners: Gotoh 510 Gold

The combination of Adirondack and Cocobolo makes this small-bodied guitar ring out like a piano. I am neurotic about how I care for my guitars and this one is no different. It is truly in excellent condition and has been stored in a case in a humidity-controlled room when not in use.
The first two photos below were taken when the guitar was purchased from Shoreline in 2016. The other photos were taken this afternoon. I could not get a good picture of the back because of the awful glare I kept getting. I apologize for that.
Pictures 3 & 4 show a natural variation in the grain of the Adirondack top to the bottom right of the soundhole. The top is incredibly thin, straight-grained wood with the exception of this spot, which is a natural blemish of the wood. I added a little darkness to the photo so it is easier to see.
