*SOLD* 2003 Paragon/Rob Bustos Custom 13 Fret 00/Parlor Sitka/EIR
I said I would never let this one go, but here we are. I am offering a gem of a guitar at a very reasonable price given the quality and performance.
A few minor things worth mentioning: I have the original tuners, but wanted to upgrade to gold gotoh 510's. There a few very tiny screw holes from previous tuners that are exposed if you look really close. I was told to break off a toothpick and put some glue over. Honestly, they are so minor, it wasn't worth the effort to me. I'll include the originals, but these 510 's are wonderful. I think the guitar was made with a pickguard installed. Along the way (early, I would suspect), an owner decided to take if off. Only at a specific angle can you see a faint outline. As you can see from photo's, it's not visible. I will include a clear pickguard if you would like one. I'm not a fan, so I left it as I received it. The guitar is a very good well cared for condition. You will not be disappointed. Email: [email protected] Some unique attributes: 1. The nut is ebony...I read this wasn't uncommon in the past. I think it's aesthetically pleasing on this guitar. 2. There is a few nice bear claw's in Sitka. It has a gorgeous patina. Golden brown. 3. The EIR is absolutely beautiful...the spectrum of colors on the sides are very unique and eye catching Specs: Top: Sitka B/S: EIR Scale: 25.4" Nut: 1 3/4" Frets: 13 Fingerboard: Ebony Binding: Ebony Case: Hard Case Price: SOLD net to me. Thanks for looking. Last edited by VTGUY; 10-08-2022 at 05:00 PM. Reason: Added email address. |

Rob's guitars are exceptional. The craftsmanship and woods and fit finish are unsurpassed. I've played several, and have a baritone he made for me in 2013.
If this interests you and you don't have previous experience with his guitars, I just wanted to speak up favorably about them! Cheers all, Best of luck on the sale (and purchase!), Phil

I have a Paragon 12-fret 00 that I absolutely love (maple/spruce). The build quality on these guitars is top notch. Rob Bustos doesn’t build anymore as he’s focused 100 percent on finishing (Vancouver Guitar Finishing). So you can assume the finish of this guitar is as good as it gets.

It may be an echo you hear. I have 2 from Rob and they're superb in every single way. My 12 string from him may be the single greatest instrument I've ever held. It's just astounding. I could not recommend his guitars more and in this day and age this is an astounding deal.
