I've cared very meticulously for this guitar.  It has no nicks or scars and nearly mint condition.  It rarely leaves my home.  The tone is fabulous and it has an amazing amount of volume for a small bodied guitar.  I have plenty of pictures for anyone interested...simply send me a PM or email to dpatton62@hotmail.com   $2900 will put this outstanding instrument in your hands.

Thanks for viewing,
David

thanks,  david

lots of folks looking at the pics but no nibbles yet.

i'd love to see this find a good home.  price is far less than its worth & far less than what i paid for it.  this is a killer little guitar.

holiday weekend bump

i thought i'd run this one & my taylor up the flagpole one last time before resorting to ebay.

i seriously doubt this one will fare well there though.

thanks,  david

a sad day but it had to be done....the funds are greatly needed.
