For Sale Or Trade: Petros Fingerstyle (video added)

[brownsteins]

I'm looking to sell my 2011 PETROS FINGERSTYLE.

It uses a unique combination of Macassar ebony back and sides and a very old Redwood top. Bruce told me the combination was "magical".

He fumed that particular top to make it darker. The dealer in London wanted a very dark themed guitar and he was unwilling to paint the top black.

This top has extremely tight grain, so it came closer to the center of the tree which generally makes it stiffer.

This is the traditional Fingerstyle guitar with an eerie clarity that inspires you in standard or alternate tunings, dimensionally equivalent to a classical guitar with some added depth.
I'm a standard and DADGAD player.

It's a surprisingly good strummer too.

Width at nut is 46mm. String spacing = 58mm

A classic design with 30 years of additional Petros tweaking.

The 14 fret configuration imparts a focussed, full and tight sound with an almost unfathomable balance where sensitivity and clarity prevail.

Condition is excellent with very few signs of use.


I'm located in Paris, France.

I have successfully traded and bought guitars on the AGF in the US before. I have friends in AZ & VA who could play the go between.

The guitar would be 12K/13K euros brand new today.

Asking 8000 euros plus shipping.
(it comes with hardshell case and fitted with K&K pickup)

I'm uploading a few iPhone pics (did my best...) and will try to shoot a video later.

Will answer questions, shoot videos and take photos. Just ask :-)
