WTT: Jack Briggs Saturn 2003 for Acoustic

surfguy13

I have a Jack Briggs Saturn that I'd be interested to trade for an acoustic and would certainly consider adding a bit of cash for the right guitar.  I have a pretty open mind in terms of woods and shape/size but definitely want a 14-fret and not a 12-fret.  I guess my ideal would be 00/000 or grand concert with rosewood back and sides and spruce top.  

The Saturn is a 2003 guitar in pretty much perfect condition with its original case.  These were two to two and a half grand ('ish) new.  From memory it's around 9lbs so very similar to a LP but I can weigh it on digital scales later.  It has combination of SD pickups which work really well together (APH1N in the neck and SH11 in the bridge) and are tapped which makes the guitar incredibly versatile.  And......for me these are the best tapped sounds I have ever heard.  Tuners are top drawer Grovers and the neck is really high quality Pau Ferro with MOP inlays. The stop tail and bridge are, I believe, locking tonepros.  Very much like a Les Paul but better made and with the single coil sounds as a bonus.  Jack was a session guitarist for many years and this was his spin on the perfect guitar combining everything that you would get from a LP with very sweet strat/tele sounds too.

Jack builds every guitar totally by hand himself and the finish is just amazing although I struggle to describe the colour!!  The photos don't help that much either.  I am really happy to take more photos anytime, hopefully with better results (!), so please ask if need any.

Please just PM me if you are interested in the Briggs and I'll get straight back to you.
