SOLD Fairbanks F-40 SOLD
SOLD
Hello all, I have a beautiful Fairbanks F-40 (same shape/size as a Gibson J-185) guitar in Adirondack/Maple that I am selling. 1-3/4" nut and 2-5/16" string spacing and it's short scale. Originally purchased from Music Emporium, it is a phenomenal sounding guitar and really captures the vintage vibe and tone. It's in excellent overall condition other than two small dings in the top that were added while I was away vacation (not very happy about that). It has no fret wear, a nice low action and comes with a custom Cedar Creek case covered in faux gator skin. The original Grover tuners were replaced with Waverly ivoroid tuners and the holes matched up perfectly so no drilling was done. I think this is the most outgoing maple guitar I've played. I'm not normally a fan of maple guitars as I find them to be too bland or neutral but this guitar really kicks butt and has a punchy midrange like mahogany. I have completed many transactions on the Ukulele Underground forum under my Specialk13 handle and have also sold a few guitars on the Collings forum under the same name. Please do not hesitate to contact me for more info. Here's a link to current pics: http://s105.photobucket.com/user/especialque/profile/ Last edited by Specialk13; 07-16-2013 at 05:32 PM. |

Fairbanks
To anyone out there on the fence about this one - I have a Fairbanks Nick Lucas and it is a truly exceptional guitar. Dale is making some great stuff and his necks are something special.

Wow, that's how you do maple. Sounds great!
Playing isn't too shabby either. Good luck with the sale!

I could be wrong, but I think this guitar is pictured here, on TME's site, with its original Grover tuners.

That's the one, thanks sugarinthegourd. I'll still be adding some more pics to Photobucket as well.

OK, I added some pics of the front and back (with and without flash). I apologize for the mediocre quality (the pics don't do justice to the sunburst or finish), I wasn't able to use my good camera.....
