For Sale: Farida OT-15 VBS All Solid (Spruce / Mahogany) 0 Body

[jazzguy]

SOLD! This is a fantastic ALL SOLID WOOD guitar - solid Sitka spruce and solid Mahogany back/sides. I bought new late 2019 from Elderly Instruments which is a high end guitar shop (elderly.com). Elderly commissioned this series from Farida (who I understand has been making guitars 30 years) based upon the Martin 0-18, but with the looks of a Gibson. The sunburst is really amazing - every bit as good as a Gibson. This has a great voice that is versatile for blues and other styles. It is not too boxy or nasally sounding like some small body guitars can be. A nice balanced tone. Solid spruce top with solid mahogany back and sides. This guitar is extremely well made and has great tuners that hold pitch very, very well (I was going to upgrade them to Waverly's, but there was no need to do so).

I would keep it but I bought a Martin 0-18 so this is not getting much play time. The guitar is MINT and perfect in every way. No dings, scratches, etc. It comes with new and very nice Access hard shell case that I bought with the guitar. Neither the guitar or the case has ever left my house. Set up with Elixir PB lights. These sell new for $738 without a case. This is a fantastic value, you will not be disappointed.

$575 shipped to continental US. PayPal friends to me. I prefer a local pickup sale in the SC, NC, GA area but will consider shipping.

Happy to chat and answer any questions. I have sold a few guitars here and EBAY under gsmith730. I have a good reputation and intend to keep it that way. I live in the Upstate of SC
