Default Froggy Bottom K Ltd (2016) Switzerland- Sold

Hey gang,

I'm considering selling my Froggy Bottom K Limited. It was built in 2016 and is a real gem. It's in great shape and has a Fishman Matrix pickup installed.

I love the guitar and the sound, but I'm ready to try something new - ideally with wider string spacing. Feel free to make trade offers. I'm interetsed in small builders and single luthiers, sizes from 00 up through small jumbos. No dreads or parlors please. Cash can be added in either direction.

This one was purchased from the North American Guitar (for $13500):

I'm asking 60% of the new price on Reverb, which works out to about 6800 Euro. For AGF Members I would be happy to drop that to 6400 Euro. Trade value 6800 Euro.

Here is the reverb link (for more pics): https://reverb.com/item/36548728-fro...k-limited-2016

I'm happy to ship the guitar, and have plenty of experience doing so. I can also ship from within the EU and help save the new buyer a bundle on taxes and import duties.

Here are the specs and description from TNAG:
This Froggy Bottom Model K Limited acoustic guitar is a stunning example and features beautiful Fiddleback Honduras Mahogany back and sides and an Adirondack Red Spruce top.

Designed and built by Michael Millard and his team of luthiers in Chelsea, Vermont, the Froggy Bottom M Limited is decorated with a top perimeter of premium, wild-caught New Zealand Paua Abalone shell.

Its Mahogany neck is topped by a Gabon Ebony fingerboard offering 20 frets and #7 pattern green Abalone fingerboard position markers.

The K Limited comes with a black American Vintage series TKL hard case.

The main features of the Froggy Bottom Model K Limited include:

I have just placed an order for a custom version of this guitar with a wider neck, so this one will have to leave in the next couple months.

I'm now a bit more flexible in terms of price, so hit me up!

I have spoken with TNAG in the UK and they want list this guitar for 8400- 9300 Euro (depending on condition, but the condition is excellent, so it will be at the top end of that range). I would get about 6500-7200 Euro, so it seems that my price is pretty reasonable. I would rather sell it here at the lower end of this range and save someone some cash, and also get my cash out a bit quicker rather than waiting for it to sell for much more at TNAG.

I've done a trade with Brian and he's a great guy! Buy/trade with confidence.

Thanks Dave! I was in Waldshut yesterday and Emma insisted on buying Maultaschen again (the dish that we sent home with you when I bought the Avalon).

I think this one is basically sold. The guy is just deciding if he wants me to ship or if he wants to do a road trip to come and get it. Who knows though, maybe it will fall through. I wouldn't be too sad. I have more than a half year until the custom Froggy arrives, and I wouldn't mind hanging on to this one a bit longer while I wait!

edit: This is sold.
