Sold - Nick Benjamin Acoustic Guitar for Sale/Trade

sijos1

hello all

I am seriously thinning my collection down. This is number 17 build from top UK luthier to the stars Nick Benjamin. Built in 1999.  Super comfortable small jumbo shape with Alpine spruce top with superb bearclaw and silking. Back and sides are East Indian rosewood. All solid tonewoods of top quality. Mahogany neck.  I am sure if you are looking at this listing you know about Nicks work and this is your chance to grab an excellent example of his work at a fraction of the new price and without the waiting list! £1800 inc postage or trade deals considered (acoustic only) https://image.ibb.co/dDqs9Q/IMG_0077.jpg https://image.ibb.co/fD7Tik/IMG_0078.jpg https://image.ibb.co/ew75UQ/IMG_0080.jpg https://image.ibb.co/hcr4Ok/IMG_0082.jpg https://image.ibb.co/jSkW3k/IMG_0084.jpg https://image.ibb.co/kLrAw5/IMG_0089.jpg

Sorry. I am a newbie!! Yes it has a hiscox liteflite case. In good condition with some playwear but no structural issues. Couple of marks by end pin. Action spot on and recently set up. I will work out how to put photos on. I am based in East Sussex!

The best I could do would be a minty Emerald X7 Opus with LR Baggs and £400

I've got a 1963 Gibson LG-0, original and still completely playable.  All mahogany and with real vintage mojo.

Thanks Andy but not really my thing.

Second thoughts though Andy. Sent you a pm

Having played it I can say that this is an outstanding guitar in superb condition!

Good luck with the sale.
