I'm the original owner of this beautifully built guitar with a full, resonant tone. Both the guitar and its case are in outstanding condition, and they have never left my home since I received the shipment from Texas.

Paldao is a tonewood from Southeast Asia. Online, I've found some opinions that this wood is similar to Mahogany back and sides in its effect on a guitar's tone, but my ears are hearing deep warmth and overtones - - a little darker than Koa, closer to the Rosewoods.

Price drop to $4295 if paid via a "fee-free" method, including shipping in the continental USA only. No trade offers please.

Bump for a great-looking guitar and a really nice guy to deal with. Do you still have that ziricote Goodall I sold you?

[Martz911]

To Colins - Thanks for the kind words. And, yes, I still have the Ziricote/Euro Spruce Goodall CJ I bought from you. It has aged wonderfully.
