Default Astrand A-OM Swiss and Madagascar**OFF THE MARKET*

2015 Astrand A-OM for sale

This is a mint condition 2015 Astrand A-OM with a Swiss Moon spruce top and Madagascar RW back and sides built by Ted Astrand from Sweden. I bought it from an AGF member in 2018 and have played it mostly in my smoke-free home since then. It has opened up significantly while I have owned it.

I am including a picture of Ted’s spec sheet for the guitar, so I won’t repeat the specs here. The previous owner did upgrade the case to a Hoffee flight case.

You can check out what Dream Guitars had to say about this guitar at:
https://www.dreamguitars.com/shop/as...tars-a-om.html



The guitar is in mint condition. No scratches or dings. No visible fret wear. Since I purchased it, I have kept it in the case with Boveda humidification in my humidity controlled music room/office.

OFF THE MARKET If you have any questions, please send me a private message through AGF.

Thanks, Tom

More than that, these are works of professional music art. GLWS.

Thanks dburna. This is a stunning guitar both aesthetically and in tonality

A couple of corrections/clarifications. I bought this guitar in 2018, not 2015. I also noticed a few inaccuracies in the specs on the Dream Guitars link. Here are the specs from Ted’s spec sheet that are notably different from the DG link:

Nut width 1.77”
String spacing 2.25”
Headstock overlay is spalted maple
Bridge is Brazilian Rosewood

If you are having trouble viewing Ted’s spec sheet (in the pics), shoot me a message and I can email them.

Default Astrand A-OM Swiss/Madagascar PRICE REDUCED

OFF THE MARKET You don't see Ted's guitars for sale very often, although there is a similar used Astrand for sale at one of the boutique guitar shops. Ted is currently booked until 2025. This is a rare opportunity to own a fantastic guitar by Ted who apprenticed with Jason Kostal. Here's a link to his website

Another bump to the top. Always open to a reasonable cash offers. Had a couple of trade offers, but still looking for the right one.

I have decided to take the guitar off of AGF and consign it with The North American Guitar
