Default McIlroy A-25

SOLD: McIlroy Guitar A25 for sale. Guitar purchased from Paramount Guitars in 2013. In excellent condition, no dings, scratches etc. Cedar top, beautiful figured walnut back and sides. Set up for finger style playing by my local luthier. This guitar is good for strumming with a pic as well, but not great for heavy strumming. Its an easy guitar to sing with for sure.
This guitar has been babied (as all my instruments are), and when not played stored in a humidity/temperature controlled room. I've posted the specs from McIlroy below.

Price: $old plus actual shipping, paypal preferred. No trades please, thanks!

Specs from McIlroy:

By far our most popular size of instrument, this is our mid size jumbo, somewhere between an OM and a large Jumbo like the J200. Although smaller than a large Jumbo its volume sustain and balance is remarkable. This size seems to focus the sound like no other guitar, giving it a clarity that is now legendary. A very comfortable guitar to play and suited to most styles of playing.


Lower Bout: 15 11/16” (400mm)
Upper Bout: 11 3/8” (290mm)
Body Depth at tail block: 4 23/32” (120mm)
Body Depth at neck block: 3 15/16” (100mm)
Overall length: 19 7/8” (505mm)

Scale Length
25 1/2” (648mm)

Nut Width
1 3/4” (45mm) as standard.

String spacing at bridge
55mm

Soundhole
4 7/16” (110mm)

Finish Nitro Cellulose Lacquer (Satin)
Neck thickness at nut 1 3/16” (21mm)

These are really excellent guitars. I got mine as a partial trade. It wasn't what I was looking for at the time, but I figured I could move it on if I couldn't bond with it. Well, I bonded with it very quickly and couldn't be happier.

I don't know the seller, but IMHO this is a great deal.


To the OP, good luck with your sale!

Great price for a great guitar. I own 3 McIlroys. I have never played a bad one.

Great buy for someone. Good luck.

Good luck with your sale. I have 2 McIlroys - an A25 similar to this and an A30. Beautiful guitars, and I am really struck by the Cedar / Walnut pairing that works so well on the A25.

Default Relisting

No response from the buyer for several days, so I'm re-listing this guitar. Not interested in trades as I'm trying to down-size my instruments.
Thanks!
