Default SOLD - Maestro Raffles SJ - Adi/Madagascar RW w/bevel & soundport $1625

This guitar is as easy on the eyes as it is to play. This 2015 Raffles (Small Jumbo) model features an Adirondack spruce top, Madagascar Rosewood back and sides, and a Mahogany neck. All Ho Zen's (Somogyi student) instruments have carbon fiber truss rods (dual truss rod). It features a beveled arm rest and soundport (unheard of at this price). 15.25" inch at the lower bout, 4.5" depth, 25.5 scale length and 1 11/16" nut. Comes with original hardshell case. Guitar and case are both in near mint condition. Not interested in trades. SOLD.

I know nothing about these guitars... Are these mass made or how do they offer these materials at these prices?

What are the opinions on this brand?

From Eddie's Guitars: "The Original Series recapitulates what Maestro is all about – making boutique handmade instruments accessible off-the-rack. HANDMADE in small batches using select materials, these guitars are available in variety of shapes and wood combinations and are voiced by Hozen to bring out what would be the signature Maestro Guitars sound – responsive, rich in overtones, with defined basses and crystal-like thick trebles."

This guitar originally sold for $2895, which is already a great price point. It was made in Singapore, under the auspices of Ho Zen, who studied under Somogyi. If this were made in the USA or Canada, it would cost far more.

I need to recoup some cash quickly (=this week), which is why the price is crazy low. It's really a joy to play and sounds fantastic.

Thanks for your interest!

A guitar with the same serial number sold on Reverb years back and the dealer listed it as a 1 3/4” nut width. Yours is listed as 1 11/16” nut width.

Just seeking to deconflict the actual spec. It might make the difference for me on pulling the trigger.
