Default Preston Thompson 00-MM--Sold

Preston Thompson 00 all mahogany. I've owned several of this style (Martin, Collings, SC 1929) and this one is as good or better than any of them. Simply looking to pare down a bit and this little jewel is getting the least attention. Only so many hours in a day. That said, no panic to sell. There is a booklet with the specs that I will include, but there are a couple of items of which I am suspect. I will detail these further down. This instrument has surprising volume, clear and strong. Great for blues, finger and flat picking, and holds up well for light strumming. Excellent ++ condition, the only "issue" is there is a shiny spot where the pickguard should go--transfer of oil from grounding a finger. Excellent condition Harptone case.

The ONLY trade I might be be interested in is a baritone of equal value.


NOW $3800.00 OBRO shipped east of Mississippi. West we can discuss. Payment fees (if any) are responsibility of the buyer. Lots of deals here on the AGF, so it you need a reference...

Thanks for taking a look

Body and top: Mahogany
Neck: Mahogany, slotted head. Single truss rod
Fretboard: * Specs say ebony, but look Rosewood to me
Bridge: * Specs say ebony, but looks Brazilian Rosewood (only two options PT offers)
Bracing : Adirondack
Nut: 1 3/4 bone
Saddle: Bone
Spacing: 2 5/16
25" scale
19.5" body length
14" lower bout
Satin finish

As the former owner of this guitar, I can say without equivocation this one is truly exceptional. Whoever is lucky enough to take this one home will be overjoyed.

What a cute little hot rod. Check the sweet silking in the close up of the top. Yum

The OP is a fine gentleman and has done a ton of deals here.

Best on this.

Thank you. I have been asked for additional specs which I have added to the original post.

Thank you. Paul. This one really is a little blues cannon.

Reasonable offers considered.

Default One more week

Saturday bump. Am planning to leave this up for one more week. Don't let the understated package fool you--she's a killer.
