Smile Raymond Kraut 00-14 fret. This is SOLD AGF! THANKS ALL

This axe is GONE. Thanks everyone for your interest and support!


KILLER setup, and ZERO ISSUES…

Glad to report the new owner of the Gibby Smeck is a happy camper. We aim to please!

My case count is silly….
This 14 fret 00 Raymond Kraut from 2015 is the most valuable in the lineup now and thus here it is, for your ogling and possible playing pleasure.

Spectacularly BEAUTIFUL instrument

Was Asking $11,825 for AGF charter members lovingly shipped, CONUS, and Heritage insured.

Bought not long ago from a well regarded AGF member.

Just back from Tim Luranc’s new home shop.
Truss Rod tweaked. Frets rocked, leveled and crowned.
Action lowered at nut, minor fret sprout dealt with and fretboard edges “rolled”
Very Minor signs of playing mostly buffed out.

Plays effortlessly and sounds heavenly.


Very, very clean and so beautiful! Still unmolested, no strap buttons or pup.

Original Hoffee case in very nice shape too. Only a couple small clear coat dings, and all latches work perfectly. Smells good. No case funk! Super comfy leather handle, and nicely balanced too.

Complete specs, photos, and a nice video at Dream Guitars link, as always:

https://www.dreamguitars.com/shop/20...pruce-069.html

This is no longer at Dream, but their listing is WAY better than I could do! I will double check measurements with my digital calipers.

Actually in better condition than it was when listed at Dream! And over $5K less expensive too…

I am always glad to talk about guitars, especially ones I’m selling!

My cell: 928-525-1189. 9-9 pacific time. Or text if you prefer. I will get back to you ASAP

happy playing…

A wonderful price on an insanely good guitar. If this is the one Ray brought to Woodstock that year I remember it being my favorite guitar at the show. Best with this, Paul....

Default Kraut 00

What a great price for a stunning guitar!

My Kraut 00 has fantastic tone, playability, balance and responsiveness. If I had to live with only one guitar, it would definitely be my Kraut 00.

Hey Paul.
What a great looking piece of art from the hands of Mr Kraut.

His guitars are truly masterpieces

Smile Thanks Gentlemen

Thank you Godfather for the vote of confidence! Yes, it will be sorely missed, but we can not keep them all….

And palolowarrior for your kind words. This axe certainly IS a masterpiece!

I hope you both are enjoying a FINE weekend.

Bump for Friday night/Saturday morning.

Have a good one, everyone

Cheers

Paul

As a friend of Paul's, I get to play lots of great guitars! I've played this one and it's a wonderful instrument. I also played Ray's 00 guitars at Woodstock and his maple 00 was one of my favorite instruments that year.

GLWS Paul!! This is a special guitar!

Smile Thanks Beth

Beth is too modest! She has some fantastic instruments, including 3 awesome customs from Ben Wilborn! Yow…

This is a real peach, and the setup and condition are absolutely superb.

Glad to answer any questions or discuss with AGF folks.

Give me a Shout. Cell 928-525-1189. 9-9 pacific

Let’s talk …

Paul
