RS-4 Goldtop - FINAL DROP $900

[calvin006]

I love this guitar but I have a rare chance at a vintage piece and need to fund it.  This guitar was built on 06/23/2009 and features the wonderful Larrivee pickups.  It's in great condition, with the only major flaw being a light scratch across the fretboard at the 7th fret.  There is also a tiny ding on the bass side of the headstock.  I can provide pictures of these on request.

Asking $1200 $1100 $1000 $900 plus shipping ($45), or pickup in Durham, NC.  Includes original hard case.  Here are some beauty shots:

Bump for price drop.

I have a potential local buyer, but wanted to give the forum members one more shot before she's gone.

OK, another bump for another price drop.  Shipping will be just $45 via UPS ground.

Final price drop.  Someone pick this beauty up for a great price!

Steve, I just sent you a PM.

The goldtop is still available, as I was waiting on a buyer that fell through.  I've since made a couple recordings of the guitar, played through my 1951 Fender Deluxe.  Wanted to bump the post and share them here: https://soundcloud.com/neonaudio/sets/rs4

There are two recordings, the first one is all the guitar controls dimed, cycling through the pickup postions which I call out.  The 2nd file is one of my favorite settings: the middle position with the neck volume rolled off a bit, tone wide open.  The amp is set to that nice "on the verge" area where playing dynamics will send it into distortion.  I find the low output pickups (one of the early Larrivee designs) are especially great for this kind of interplay with the amp.  I should also mention that it's strung up with DR Hi-Beams, which are meant to be bright, and this adds a little more presence in the high end.  Regular strings would make for a warmer sound.  Just a mic, the guitar, and an amp here.
