Default Froggy Bottom SJ 2011**Sold**

I was recently offered a great deal on a premium guitar from probably my favorite builder. Yes, the dreaded Guitar Acquisition Syndrome has stricken me once again. (I hear they are working on a cure, but hopefully it will not be ready for a while. ) That said, I need to back fill with some cash and I am letting a couple of real gems go. The first is my Froggy Bottom SJ with a beautiful sunburst and a killer pickup. When I received it, it was definitely in need of a setup, so I took it to Asheville guitar tech wiz Jack Dillen and he now has it playing like butter.

The condition is Very Good +++++. As like many of you, I am fairly particular about condition, so I would rather understate than go the other way.

Having owned several Frogs over the years, this SJ delivers on every aspect you would expect from such respected builders. Here is a sound clip on this model. Clearly not this guitar, but the woods, vintage, and the sound are very representative of my instrument. And Bobby does incredible demos.

Condition from previous owner:

This Froggy is in very good condition with only minimal signs of use. It's not a perfect specimen but the blemishes are all hardly noticeable. I'd be more than happy to send pics of them upon request. Comes from smoke-free home. Never gigged and only used inside my properly humidified guitar room. Always stored back in its case when not being used .Comes with original deluxe AVS hardshell case that is in minty condition.

Pictures are a combination of mine and previous owner (who is clearly better with a camera. Thanks for looking and let me know if you have any questions.
