Beneteau CS African Blackwood/Euro Spruce--TRADED
ON THE AGF THROUGH 6-5-22. REASONABLE OFFERS GIVEN SERIOUS CONSIDERATION.
This is as good as anything I've ever owned or played--and that covers a lot of instruments. I've been back forth and forth and back on this one. I will leave it on the market until the end of June, and after that, I will be satisfied that he guitar gods have spoken and she is destined to stay with me until.... Not a bad proposition, either way I had this on consignment for a short time with Cedar Rock Studios and am including a link with pictures and Dustin Furlow's demo. He used it extensively on one of his albums. The guitar has been recently re-fretted and was setup by Jack Dillen in Asheville, NC. Plays like butta'--sounds like heaven. [B]CASE UPGRADED TO NEW CROSS ROCK (RED) [/B] https://www.cedarrockstudio.com/prod...can-blackwood/ **The guitar sounds overly strong on the treble side in this demo. Maybe what Dustin was going for, or maybe just the string selection. IMHO Brazilian and African Blackwood tends to sound that way with bright strings. I currently have Thomastic infield Plextrums on it and it sounds extremely warn and rich. If anyone has serious interest, I can send them a video. It will be cell-phone quality, but I think you will be able to hear the difference. Also, I don;t have nearly the chops as Mr. Furlow. My price is $6500.00 shipped CONUS. Payment fees, if any, are the responsibility of the buyer. Trade interests include: smaller bodied, short scale with Madi or Cocobolo from a comparable builder, a full-sized McIlroy or Lowden (partial to walnut, but not cedar tops), or surprise me. Cash up or down for the right instrument. Always open to Reasonable Cash Offers. Let me know if you have questions, and thanks for taking a look.

Frank - I am very surprised you are letting this one go. You must have something up your sleeve.
Guitars this good don't come around very often. Should be gone soon. For anyone who does not already know - Frank is as good a guy as they come. Many, many deals with him over the years. |

Rob and Paul,
Thanks for your very kind words and encouraging me to take another listen. I had been hoping to trim down to 3 guitars, but this one has to stay. 4 is only 1 more than 3. Off the market

We try to help our members for a lot of reasons... when they rejoin us or bring a guitar back on the market or sometimes when we have to clean up a thread.
We close threads as quickly as we can because members whose guitars haven't sold don't like to see a sold guitar bumped to the top above theirs. So, when we need to reopen a closed thread, we'll often bump it up for them. |

Paul,
You may be right. Certainly, having second thoughts. Will leave it on through the weekend, and if it doesn't move, I will assume karma has spoken. Best to you. Frank
