Yes - went missing a couple days ago.

If it had been spruce, I'd have bought it to have a second one to tune a half step down.

For some reason, I thought you already had at least two of them.

I've had about 5-6 Claritas over the years, but only one stayed!

I recall seeing your ads over at Delcamp. I was wondering if those were all for the same guitar and that you kept "coming to your senses at the last minute" and taking them off the market.


Yeah. The Loriente guitars are good value and some can be absolute gems that are better than some single-luthier guitars. It sounds like you found one of those.

I'm surprised that this one wasn't snapped-up sooner since used ones in excellent condition seem to fetch $1k-$1.2k.

I suspect that folks are reigning-in their discretionary spending. More economists are saying that "Americans will run out of money" (i.e. national consumer spending starts going negative) this fall or in early 2024.
