Up for sale is a beautiful custom built T-style guitar that was ordered through our shop several years ago. No expense spared on this build, which cost >$3k originally (including the assembly and setup). Top notch components throughout!
The neck is a custom ordered and highly figured birdseye maple neck from Guitar Mill in Tennessee (which is the company who builds the exceptional Mario Martin guitars). Specs are below, but it is a very comfortable C-shaped neck, and the upgraded stainless steel frets really take the playability to the next level. The body is is a lightweight figured black walnut top over a baked ash back, which has been finished in a hand-rubbed oil finish. The top is stunning with all the figured gran, and the back is a dark but transparent finish that shows the ash grain. The body only weighs 4lbs 3oz. Pickups are a set of Curtis Novaks, which sound great. Hardware and electronics are also top notch: Kluson locking tuners, Kluson bridge, CTS pots, Mallory Mustard .022 cap, Oak 4-way switch, Dunlop strap locks ... really high quality build all around.
The guitar is in excellent condition overall. If you look closely, you can find some slight signs of use, but otherwise it looks like it has spend most of its life in the case. Stainless frets are still perfect, and the playability / setup are fantastic. A killer guitar that is much nicer than anything from the big brand at this price point.
