Default SOLD: Ed Claxton Brazilian/Italian, unsurpassed straight BRW, SOLD

2007 Ed Claxton Brazilian with Italian spruce top beauty.

In fabulous condition. No issues on back, sides, neck, fretboard or front and back of headstock. Some tiny pick marks around sound hole, mostly on treble side of soundhole. You have to put the guitar at the right angle in the right light to see the marks, but they are there.

This one plays beautifully, as do all of Ed Claxton's masterpieces. The grain on this guitar is unsurpassed straight grained Brazilian rosewood with gorgeous coloring.

New replacement value would be $24,500.

Default Claxton EM, 2007, BRW/Italian, Nicest BRW you will see! Make an offer.....yours soon!

Brazilian does not come any better, nor the sound of a guitar. This is as good as it gets gang at a most generous price.

What is it worth to you to have one of the best guitars ever built?

Make offer..........get it in your house!
