As a part of my transition to using a Larrivée PV-09 as my "main" guitar (love that 24" scale!), I am offering this prized guitar from Mark Blanchard. It is his "Juniper" model, which Mark and I collaborated together for its design and creation. It is a 24.75" scale 00 sized guitar, and was completed on September 17, 2006.
This particular guitar would have a current price of $8300 from Mark, and is covered under his regular warranty terms. The guitar is in mint or near-mint condition, and was just shown by Mark at the recent Healdsburg Guitar Festival.
I am offering it at $7100 including custom Cedar Creek case, plus shipping. It is Zircote back and sides matched with an Italian Spruce top. Macassar Ebony bindings, with Zircote headstock veneer and rosette inlay. It has the newest Gotoh Delta tuners, 21:1 ratio. 1-3/4" nut & a 2-1/4" bridge string spacing. The guitar has a spectacular sound, and a part of this is a profound string to string clarity. Plenty of warmth, and a big, balanced voice (including surprising bass) are a part of the package with Blanchard's Juniper model.

Nope....but that's where most of the pictures came from.
There is a short story that goes with this guitar, the 3rd Juniper model that Mark built, which he and I collaborated for it's design....originally built for and sold by Robin (at the Guitar Gallery), but it came to me through Mike Joyce at Luthiers Collection.
Wow now thats an amazing looking guitar! If I only had an extra seven grand laying around... good luck with the sale :smile:
