Title: SOLD Webber Dreadnaught Guitar
Post by: karen on August 04, 2010, 02:02:21 PM
Offered for sale is my Webber Dreadnaught with Sitka spruce top and Tasmanian blackwood back and sides.

I bought the guitar from Klemm at Cathedral Music a couple of years ago, and thought this would be my forever guitar. (Sold my Martin D28 after buying this one.) I love how easily this guitar strums for me, as well as its tone, sustain and projection. Unfortunately, I've found that the dread's a little too large for me to play comfortably for very long while sitting. The depth at the tail is a little shallower (4 1/4") than some other dreadnaughts. According to the serial number, it is a 1998.

What one hears in a guitar is subjective, of course. Tonewise, I'd place the guitar between my D28 (sold after buying the Webber Dread) and Webber Mini Jumbo with Sitka spruce top and rosewood back and sides (which is also listed for sale now).

Abalone rosette and "W"
Fret markers
Body length – 20 ½"
Depth at tail – 3 ½"
Depth at heel – 4 ¼"
Upper bout – 11 ½"
Waist – 10 ½"
Lower bout – 15 7/8"
Nut width - 1 3/4"
Clear pickguard
Original hard shell case included

In terms of condition, I'd say it's in excellent condiiton overall. There's a light impression about an inch long to the far right of the sound hole (closer to the waist edge) which I found while tilting the guitar in the light and looking closely. A very small pencil tip sized mark is on left side of the lower bout. Neither could be photographed when I tried.

I'd like $1600 for the guitar, plus shipping costs and PayPal fees.
