Was the saddle ever shaved down from the bottom, I see that the wings are rather short of the routed slot in the bridge.

Maybe on the saddle and yes the wings are a touch short. Almost sold but needed a string change. Was recommended to try mediums. New EJ17s and boy was he right. Great big tone to go along with the big neck. A player would have no excuse to not be heard over the din.

Been a bit bump.

Back in town bump

Looks like neck modifications are going to be in excess of $500 and maybe into the high hundreds. As much as I like the guitar (except the neck), I don't think that is a good idea.

$500 price drop. $4250 includes shipping CONUS. Any payment fees extra.

Big guitar tone bump

I literally cannot believe this is still here. Price is getting kind of stupid now for a BRW 1937-spec guitar from a very capable builder.

In another circumstance I would have bought this one without hesitation, but I have other commitments at the moment that demand my attention.

Come on AGF...let's go!

James Burkett is an incredible talent. It's sad that he is no longer building. I have had one of his J45s with a Douglas fir top for a couple years. It is as good a modern slope as I have played.

I really wanted to own this Brazilian D28, but it's not possible at this point.

Thanks guys. Brencat suggested a different shop for the modifications. Maybe that is still possible. Still for sale until it isn't bump.

Roy at Ratsmusic - your in box is full. I can’t reply to your PM. To answer your questions
1) intonation is right on
2) I will measure the action later
3) I live in Minnesota

Amazing Brazilian dread. Heading for a neck re-shape if not sold by September.

[tomcstokes59]

Still waiting for space to get the neck done. Until then might as well bump it for sale as is.

[tomcstokes59]

Might as well bump it - bump.

I've owned a couple of JB'S guitars, never disappointed..
