For Sale Or Trade: SOLD! Maple Peerless Monarch Archtop, near mint, dual source pup's

[hotroad]

Carved face, awesome solid maple back and sides with sunburst. Up for your viewing is my Peerless Monarch 17" stunning archtop. It comes with the factory Armstrong Floating Humbucker pickup at the neck.

But wait!! Theres more. I am including the K&K Meridian wafer thin pickup that slides between, yes between, the bridge and the face. It picks up the carved top as well as the bridge tones. Combined with the humbucker the tone is fully acoustic electric. Jazz, rock, blues, country, and more sound great with the combo. The Meridian terminates in a 1/4" to plug into a preamp or guitar amp. Two sound sources from one guitar nonetheless a jazz guitar.

So, its nearly mint but not mint. It shows some faint touch marks from a shirt lightly touching the face as I play. It also has a small indentation, 1/16th", on the lower bout. It's about the same depth as it is wide. Can't photograph it.

The HSC is in excellent shape but has one back latch that came loose just last week. Its in the case and can easily be put back on. Very nice case.

The guitar is now selling new for around $1500. I am at $800 plus half of shipping CONUS for a SALE. I will cover paypal. TRADE value is at $950.00 but no cash can be thrown in here.

For a trade, I am after an OM or smaller than dread acoustic in good to excellent condition. No parlor size or similar. Either mahogany or maple b/s, going two directions at once is typical of me.

This archtop is a steal!!! Ask any jazz player... though now this is not only a jazz guitar. It is an acoustic as well given the Meridian pickup included.
Oh yea, it has beautiful grain maple back and sides and is sunburst front, sides and back. Beats any Eastman, D'Angelico, Gretsch, Epiphone.

No sale offers except for trades please. And thanks for looking.

Bump it up for a lucky buyer

[hotroad]

Bump this beauty up. A great jazz guitar for much less than other authentic jazz boxes. Please check this out. Its a great addition to an acoustic player as a second gigging guitar for a different tone including the electric tones you might get from a Fender or Gibson SG.

Bump for mid week hump day. New photos too!!!

[hotroad]

Another bump. If you knew what this guitar can sound like, you would take great interest in it. What a great choice for a second guitar whether gigging or just playing at home and like varying tones from your guitar.

Bump the Beauty!! She is. And she plays well and sounds amazing with the dual source. Read on.
