This week
****To all interested parties****
I've told a few people this, but for the rest of you...I'm scheduled for back surgery next Monday (Dec 13th). As a result, I will be "out" for some period of time after that, probably a month. So I will either sell this guitar by Friday, or I will need to remove it for at least a month to allow recovery time after the surgery. A number of people have inquired about it, and yet the guitar is still for sale. I think we all agree that this is a phenomenal guitar, but if one or more of you have an interest in moving forward, please get me your offer and I'll surely consider it. I'm in the mood for working with someone to get this bought, so if that is you let me know.

Paul, Thank you for the well wishes. I think you and I know what a few people have learned and that is that John sprinkles some kind of "special fairy dust" in these guitars which makes them sound amazing. Someone else will become a "believer" when they get this one. Still available for now...

Mike,
Good luck with your back surgery. I hope you recover quickly and well! Regarding this guitar, what a beauty! And it sounds wonderful in Al Petteway's hands! I can no longer afford a guitar like this now that I'm retired, but I can still certainly appreciate what a treasure it is. Best of luck with this sale! - Glenn

I've had some good interest, but this beauty is still available. The "clock is ticking" and I'm open to offers. I'm reasonable to work with...talk to me. I promise that whoever gets this will not be disappointed.
One person asked for some more pics of the back. This is what I sent them, thought you might like to see these also.

Mike, good luck with the back surgery. I know how chronic back pain can get in the way of a good life. I hope this surgery makes it much better!
Three times I have had world-class luthiers in my home, and they have played all of my guitars. Each time, they have picked out my John Kinnairds as the most special...other than the ones they made, of course...heh heh. "This guitar is on fire!" one exclaimed about my West Coast OM. Each of these luthiers has a different style, and each of them was really impressed by John's work. I have tried the same experiment with friends who are accomplished guitarists, with the same result. One started sweating when he played my Pau Santo 000, a magical beast that one is. John Kinnaird builds dynamite guitars. |

Didn’t mean to have it sound as if back surgery was minor - Beautiful set of wood on this WC guitar - hard to find stuff like that. Wish I’d come across one like that when I was looking at a JK build. All my best to you and surely all here on the AGF

Mike, best of luck on your upcoming surgery.
The good thing about getting it is that the back and leg pain of the past years will be gone, and life is more enjoyable. So, really, happy new year! |

Surgery
So sorry Mike, I know it’s a long process back after major back surgery! Lord’s blessings to you as you prepare. Here’s wishing you his comfort, healing and peace. May you have a restful and healing Christmas! You’re in our prayers, Bob

Thanks to all of you who have reached out by email and personal message and here on this thread. Too many to mention by name but I gotta tell you all that I'm grateful for every kind word and I am truly touched. This is a really great community of people. I am honored to be part of all of your lives and you mine. Surgery is Monday and so I'll be "out of the loop" for a bit. Thanks for the prayers. I'll be back soon and as ornery as ever
This guitar hasn't sold as of right now, and so I will take it down for a while later tonight. If someone decides to make a solid offer and we agree on a price, I have a close friend who said he'd make sure it gets packed properly and shipped on Monday insured Fedex.
