Default 2018 Stephen Straham EROS guitar Like New

Here is a almost brand new Straham guitar. I bought it just a month ago but I have a chance to buy
a Kim Walker guitar from a buddy and its my dream guitar. So my loss is your gain as its priced to sell.
Not familiar with Straham guitars, check out his web site at https://www.strahmguitars.com/


Stephan apprenticed under Jeff Traugott and worked at Santa Cruz guitars for many years. His guitars are an undiscovered value and just a joy to play. This is his Eros model which is based on a martin OM with some body size adjustments. This guitar just comes alive when you play it. Amazing highs and it responds to both a light or heavy touch. The guitar is a stunner with a moon spruce top and master-grade African black-wood back and sides. Could not get a good picture of the back but you can see some figure in the back when in the sun.
There is a video on YouTube from the original listing. Check out the sound of this baby!

Spec’s

· Mastergrade African Blackwood back & sides
· Alpine Moon Spruce top
· Florentine cutaway
· African Blackwood headstock faceplate, with bevelled edges
· Black Violet Chrome Gotoh 510 tuning machines
· Mahogany neck 1&3/4 width at the nut
· African Blackwood fretboard
· African Blackwood rosette
· African Blackwood bridge
· Ebony bridge pins
· Ebony bindings
· Main Stage flight case



The guitar was $13,500 new. Reduced for a quick sale to $11,500 plus shipping and any fees. Really a sweet deal on a guitar that’s a month old.
Dead mint condition.

I love everything about this guitar. If I had the extra cash right now, I would definitely try this one out. I really like the understated elegance, and the woods on this are gorgeous.

Here is the original Guitar Gallery listing with more photos and audio clips:

Gotta second the CKid! This is one elegant, sleek looking beauty, if that's the look for you. You really have to look at the Dream Gs pics to get the full effect of just how great this looks. The sound is great as well. Once it opens up I can 'forehear' a truly top class sounding instrument. Someone's going to be happy, I'd bet. Just too bad it won't be me, (darn Christmas and those other people!) GLWTS

I dream of someday getting a Strahm - Stephen is one of the finest luthiers out there, but still largely under the radar. His guitars are incredible -
