Sold. Froggy Bottom Brazilian Jumbo, 1980
SOLD
Bought from Robin at guitar gallery last year. Just think it’s a bit too big for my personal comfort. Just couldn’t pass up the amazing tonewood combo at the time. For now see the pics and audio here: https://www.guitargal.com/products/f...osewood-guitar Details: Condition: Used, Excellent -- Frets to Body: 14 Scale Length: 25.25" Nut Width: 1 11/16" Depth at tail: 4" Lower Bout: 17" Upper Bout: 12 1/4" Best quality Brazilian rosewood back & sides (per a 2007 letter by Michael Millard) 19th Century, German Spruce top, there is nothing more fine! Extra wide headstock with Gold Imperial tuning machines MOP Froggy logo on headstock faceplate Maple headstock and body bindings Maple heelcap Figured Maple end graft 5-ply back & side purflings Faux tortoiseshell pickguard Herringbone top trim Ebony fretboard The guitar has been re-fretted and the frets are in excellent shape Carved, Ebony, Pyramid bridge Mother of Pearl rosette & back center strip This is a big boy, and the sound is beyond what you can imagine. It is HUGE, but clear as a bell. Super sweet, but with endless headroom and bravado. As you would expect, the entire guitar is finish checked, and it further enhances its vintage vibe & mojo Newer, TKL case included This guitar was originally built for M. Beaumont

Wow...That Brazilian is incredible! There are some builders who would charge more for just that set of Braz than you’re asking for the whole guitar! GLWS!

Thanks! Yeah, Michael has had some amazing tonewood over the years. Brazilian like this is hard to come by now.

The current price of 5A Brazilian alone from Froggy Bottom is $10K. This guitar has better wood and is less expensive.
