Guitar is sold! (off forum) Up for sale or trade is this beautiful Ayers dread with solid Vietnamese (Siamese or Cambodian) Rosewood & one of the most beautiful solid Sitka Spruce tops you will ever see...Vietnamese Rosewood is now protected by SITES & I will not ship this out of the USA....Ayers only distributed 10 of these in the USA & they are no longer using Vietnamese Rosewood....this guitar will certainly go up in value due to this rare Rosewood... the rosette is stunning...this whole instrument is the most beautiful that I have ever owned & that's a whole bunch of them....the guitar is in excellent plus condition with a few small scuff marks in the finish only....Fretwear is very minimal...it plays fantastic with low action & stays perfectly in tune... a very comfortable 1 11/16" width at the nut....No electronics in this guitar...the sound reminds me of a Larrivee...more round & more bass than a typical Taylor....A stunning fingerstyle guitar, yet nice when strummed....Here are the specs from the Ayers website....all Handmade with original Hardshell case! This guitar sold for over $1500.00 new & will certainly climb due to the choice of Vietnamese Rosewood for the back & sides....
