Doerr Trinity (12 fret) Cedar/Master Grade Brazilian (New pictures added!)
Listing this beauty and the others indicated in my signature--using the proceeds to fund a grand piano for the family!
Up for offer here is an absolutely stunning Doerr Trinity with Master Grade woods throughout and the voice of an angel! Top shelf gorgeous Brazilian Rosewood back and sides that are true quarter-sawn and flitch-matched with the inky black lines and stunning color and figuring. Tom used his finest set on hand of Western Red Cedar for the top. The neck is Indian Rosewood, which really adds to the sustain and harmonic overtones. Very lush, modern sound that belies its size. The Trinity model is a 12 fret instrument sized larger than an 00 but a bit smaller than an 000--14.5" lower bout, 4.5" deep at the base. For additional details and pictures, here is the AGF build thread: https://www.acousticguitarforum.com/...d.php?t=361881 This instrument is on par with the standard specs of the top of the line Doerr "Sterling" series, which have a base price of $13,500. All the tone woods are top shelf. The main differences are that this instrument has abalone purflings instead of silver purflings and has Alessi Sterling silver tuners instead of Rogers nickel silver tuners. Mine has a customized Cedar Creek case instead of a Main Stage case. Mine has African Blackwood bindings instead of Ebony. Guitar is in EXC+ condition, except for the following. There was a shipping mishap when Tom first sent it out to me, resulting in minor damage to the back of the instrument which was thoroughly checked by Tom, repaired by him and Brian Galloup, and was then completely refinished. There is still a hairline-thin outline visible under the finish that remains, but under normal viewing circumstances, you won't notice it. I can't get it to show in pictures. It's ancient history to me, but I want to be upfront about everything. Other than that, the guitar is in near Mint condition, always kept in the case with proper humidity, never gigged. Taking that into consideration, I am asking $8500 o.b.o., which is the base price of Tom's "Signature" level of features. I will add some new pictures asap, but I seem to be having a problem with Imgur...the build thread has many excellent pictures at the end, though. Specs: Top: Master Grade Western Red Cedar Back/Sides: Master Grade QS Brazilian Rosewood Neck: One piece laminate Indian Rosewood Bindings: African Blackwood Fretboard/Bridge/Headplate: Arizona Desert Ironwood (all cut from the same piece) Tuners: Alessi custom Sterling silver with black pearl buttons Purflings: Abalone shell Stainless Steel frets with semi-hemispherical ends Soundports Scale length: 25" Nut width: 1 7/8" (with a little extra space below the high E string for bends) String spacing: 2 5/16" Lower bout: 14.5" 12 frets to the body

Oh my - pretty sure I played this one at Tom's shop a while back, and it still haunts me.
Sometimes I wish I hadn't built up so much willpower!

Wow!!!! Tom’s guitars are fantastic. If I wanted to be divorced, I’d buy this as a companion to my Swiss spruce/BRW Doerr. Alas, I love my wife! And divorce is expensive. But then again, I WOULD have two Doerr’s to keep me company. LOL.
Seriously, his work is exquisite and the playability outstanding. I won’t say GLWS because you shouldn’t need it, but rather congrats to whomever picks up this beauty..

Beautiful Trinity!! I remember this guitar as Tom worked on it just a short while after finishing my Legacy.
Tom's work is amazing and this guitar showcases it all! GLWS!

Another firm endorsement of Doerr guitars. I have a similar model to that being sold here and it puts my other acoustics to shame, they now stay in their cases! GLWTS
