After a bad case of seller's remorse, I am ready to let her go. I've included pictures with the pickguard off, that is how it is now. The new owner can make the call on the pickguard and I will reapply if requested. Best of luck bidding on this sweet guitar with a beautiful tone. It's back on ebay with a buy it now price of $1175. I will sell for less, so feel free to email me to discuss a price and I will end the auction early if you are interested, jpiazza67@nc.rr.com.
This is a hand crafted, Kevin W. La Due guitar, built in 2001. A custom shop, boutique guitar made of the finest solid tonewoods. The top is Red Cedar, Mahogany back and sides. This combination gives a warm, full, sweet tone. It has excellent sustain with a new bone nut and saddle, as well as new frets. The fingerboard is perfectly straight, intonation is perfect, and it has been set up at medium action. It produces loud volume and a booming bass. The red cedar gives a warm tone, and with the Mahogany combination, there are more overtones than a spruce/mahogany guitar and fewer overtones than a spruce/rosewood combination. The result is a guitar that is excellent for finger picking with a 1 ¾" nut, and also excellent for strumming, which is unique for a cedar top.
It has a Dual Source L.R. Baggs pickup installed, no electronics cut into the sides. Excellent sound plugged in, absolutely excellent. The neck is made of mahogany and walnut with a walnut headstock overlay, Gotoh tuners, and a mother of pearl inlay. Size is compairable to a small jumbo, slightly smaller than a dreadnaught but shaped like a jumbo.
Dimensions:
Upper bout: 11-1/2"
Lower bout: 15-3/4"
Waist: 10"
Depth: 4" - 4-3/4"
Width of neck at nut: 1.75"
Scale length: 25.5

I've pulled it off ebay. There were some bids, but I decided to end the auction before it reached the reserve. I'm going to keep it for now, but if anyone has interest in it, feel free to contact message me directly.
