Default SOLD: Kinnaird 12 fret Custom Euro/Honduran Rosewood Slope Dred...GORGEOUS!!!

Kinnaird 12 fret Custom Euro/Honduran Rosewood Slope Dred...GORGEOUS!!!

Check this out! A gorgeous burst finish with some very nice appointments. I bought this guitar on looks alone, knowing just how good John's guitars are tonally. This one does NOT disappoint!! However, when I bought it I ignored my body's limitations on size. That said, don't be surprised if I change my mind and pull this one off of the forum because the tone is so rich and deep I may decide to keep it. Then again...I need cash flow worse than guitars...the balancing act continues .

So, the pictures tell most of the story. This is a 2011 build, and it is absolutely sweet. The guitar plays beautifully and is in great condition. It is loud, and yet you can sit and play it fingerstyle and it's like a choir of angels singing ...can you hear 'em?

Here are the specs:

European Spruce
Honduran Rosewood
Binding flamed Maple
12 fret design
Slope shoulder dred
Nut: 1 3/4
Upper Bout: 11 3/8
Waist: 10 1/2
Lower bout: 16
Hard shell case

Price: $SOLD Open to strong reasonable offers and some trades with a strong cash addition...ie: no straight trades

I had a chance to play this guitar, and it is sweet. Absolutely beautiful as well.

Great price on a JK and offered by one of the best guys you can deal with.

John Kinnaird works wonders with Honduras RoseWood! Yow, this is a beauty...

I have a Jk in Euro/HRW and it is a Monster axe. This will knock someone's socks off! And part folks hair at 40 paces I wager. And still sound heavenly at low volume too.

Mike is always a pleasure to work with and my goodness he has some SWEETHEART GUITARS.

My congrats to whoever winds up with this!

Cheers

Paul

What a beautiful guitar - I would have bought it unheard as well! Not a big burst fan but this just fits so well with that great Hond. RWs darkness that it was an obvious choice, imo. Since you're looking for the $ and not interested in a trade, I'm unfortunately not able to pounce on it - but was I able, pounce I would! GLWTS......

Thanks! Honduran Rosewood is one of my favorites. The grain and color is always so compelling to me. This one certainly checks all my boxes.

From the response I'm getting, apparently it is speaking to other folks as well. I am open to cash offers. All cash certainly is my preference, but a trade plus cash is definitely do-able.

I thought this one would be gone by now.

I bet it does not last the weekend.
