Default For Sale: RainSong Shorty FLE -- Rare Model, only 26 made; SOLD

For Sale.

RainSong Shorty FLE (“Forum Limited Edition”).

The Shorty FLE was commissioned by LA Guitar Sales for the AGF. There were only 26 FLE models made, of which only 6 were acoustic only. I am the original owner of this Shorty FLE.

This is an acoustic only model which means that (i) there is NO barndoor hole in the side of the guitar, and (ii) you can install a pickup of your choice, if desired.

The Shorty FLE has:
- all gloss finish
- Abalone Rosette
- Abalone Shark fretboard markers (the standard Shorty had no fretboard markers)
- Bridge Pins with Abalone trim (instead of the standard mother of pearl)
- Unidirectional carbon fiber top from the Concert series
- 12 frets to the body
- 1.75” nut width
- 24.875” scale length

The guitar has great tone, and is very comfortable to hold and play. Very light weight.

The guitar is in pristine condition, having only had light play, all fingerstyle, never gigged, and has spent 100% of its time in a non-smoking house. The original hard-shell case is in like new condition.

Price is USD $1,450 including delivery via FedEx or UPS to the Continental U.S. only.
Payment via PayPal.

PM me if you have any questions.

Pictures added below.

Best Regards,

Jim K

Just picked one of these up recently, mostly out of curiosity. But I have to say the tone coming from it just blew me away. Not to mention a beauty. You won’t be disappointed!

Now 5:46 Eastern, and your PM has not arrived. I checked in with the AGF moderator, who suggested that we both should check our PM boxes to make sure that they are not at capacity, . . . which would prevent messages from getting through.

How much would a new one sell for or how much did this cost you?

FYI, the Shorty and the CH-OM are exactly the same guitar. The great thing with the Shorty is the embellishments!

Incredible deal folks, snatch this up!
