Description

 

Every now and then you come across a guitar where everything comes easy to you. It always seems to be a magical combination of characteristics: the ease of play, the complexity of the sound, and maybe most importantly, how creative you feel when you begin to play music.

This is one of those guitars. From the moment you open the case, it greets you with a warm, but exiting “hum” from the responsive top. This guitar is a sponge of intention - it picks up every little detail, and turns on a dime. Best of all, it has one of the best guitar necks in the world - something I’m VERY picky about. C shaped, and thin, with a killer setup ( 3.5mm at the 12th on the 6th string, and 2.75mm at the 12th of the 1st string). This is low, but of course could go higher, which is an easy adjustment.

Jim has a 7+ year waitlist the last time I checked, and these guitars costs a heck of a lot more from him or any dealer. I’m selling this on consignment, and I expect it to go quickly to some lucky guitarist out there.
