Default SOLD: Edmonds koa 12 fret dread

This is a shallow bodied dreadnought guitar from Jimmy Edmonds. The tone is amazing, balanced across the range with a clear, sweet bass. It plays nicely with no buzzes anywhere on the neck. The Carpathian spruce top is perfectly quarter sawn and the figured koa is gorgeous. Cosmetically it’s near perfect, just some light swirls on the pick guard. I’m selling it to help fund another koa Edmonds 12 fret in a 000 size. If for any reason you are not happy with this guitar, let me know within seven days after you receive it and I’ll refund your money in full. I would only ask that you pay for insured return shipping. Specs are as follows:

Solid Carpathian top
Solid Koa Back and sides
20 Ύ” body length
15 5/8” lower bout width
11 ½” upper bout width
10 ½” waist
3 ½” to 4 3/16” body depth
24.9” scale length
1 25/32' nut width
2 5/16” saddle spacing
Ebony fingerboard with four slotted square position markers
28H style top trim
Ebony bound body, fingerboard, headstock veneer, and heel cap
Varnish finish
Hide glue construction
3/32” action E at 12th fret (with .012 to .54 gauge strings)
2/32” action e at 12th fret (with .012 to .54 gauge strings)
Three-on-a-plate snakewood buttoned slothead waverly tuners.
Bevelled pick guard
Cloth stays
High quality Cedar Creek case with blue lining

The guitar has what I consider one minor issue. On the low E string the bridge pin slot has to be inserted facing away from the string. Otherwise the ball tends to get pulled up into the bridge plate. It's been this way since I got it in 2015 (I'm not he original owner) and I never think about except when I change the strings.
