Default Petros

Nice Petros and without the Baroque styling..........very nice.

Year built?

A question I always ask: what makes this guitar NOT in mint or like new condition?

Thanks

Thanks Bruce. It was built in 2006.

That is a fair question -

I never use the word ‘mint’. Nor ‘Like new’

Excellent condition describes it conservatively in my opinion.

I am lucky enough to have a Petros and equally lucky no one bought it when I put it up for sale last month. The father and son team at Petros guitars of Wisconsin are simply some of the best builders out there and are not making many, if any, guitars anymore. Probably because of the above, you do not see very many come up for sale at least on the AGF.

Thanks a lot Tom. It was hard to list this one. Thanks for the reminder of just how spectacular guitar a guitar this is. This one is going back in the stable.

You guys made me decide to take down my Petros listing from Reverb. I have two and might as well keep them both.
