Default McAlister C **SOLD**

For sale is this gorgeous 2007 C model in Adi and Makore. I bought this about 9 years ago on the forum and it's in the same virtually unmarked condition as when I acquired it. Top is wonderfully silked and tight grained Adi. Makore is described in the tonewood references as leaning toward mahogany, in this case a thicker, denser sounding mahogany. Tone is full, balanced and explosive. Guitar plays perfectly, neck set is dead on, height at low E 12th sits at a tick under 3/32". Here's your shot at a wonderful McAlister. Best of all it's orange!

Specs:
Scale length: 25.4
Nut: 1 25/32
String spacing: 2 1/4
Depth at wedge: (nominally) 4 1/2
Bone nut & saddle
Tuners: 510s (replacement padauk buttons in case pocket)
H/S overlay appears Brazilian or Madagasgar
All wood bindings/purflings
No electronics
Original Ameritage case

Crappy cell phone pix:













$5100

Appreciate the kind words, John. Tone is smooth but meaty and concussive. You feel it in your hands.

I've been asked about trades and could see one for the right 000-12, even better is it's sunburst....

I'm surprised to see this is still available.
McAlister's are as good or better than many guitars selling for 3-4 times as much.

Love chatting with my forum brethren if you have a respectful offer in mind. This is a serious guitar....
