Bourgeois DS-260 12 Fret Standard - Fishman pickup - not for sale

Since I play with nails a bit, this brighter-sounding  walnut & Adirondack guitar no longer works for me,

it is exceptional. I think this would be perfect for someone who likes brighter sound, or plays with skin, or strums

You will not see this level of guitar in any normal UK shop. Ivor Mairants stocks a few

This has: Adirondack Spruce top, custom order Walnut back and sides

http://www.pantheonguitars.com/guitars/guitars_PRO-ds-260.htm

 

The new price for this is $4300 + the extras, which are:

Walnut back and sides - extra costs you have to email them. I guess $500-$1000

maple binding / purfling on body, neck and headstock ($600, $250, $250)

waverly gold/ wood tuners $120

Abalone Rosette $200

So that's $6000 - $6500

The pickup is a Fishman with a vol and tone control in the sound hole

New this guitar would be about $6500-$6800

The OMC is $5000 list, and is £3800 at Mairant's, who I have found to be cheap for Bourgeois and Lowdens

so taking that as a guide, my guitar would be well over £5000 new

 


I'm asking £4000 - these sell used for more than this in the USA, even though about 25% VAT and duty have been paid to bring this here

Includes hard case

    >:D<

    I would be happy to get spendy on an acoustic. It's well worth it.

    I'm not far from the Avalon shop and they do nice prices for locals. It's just a shame I'd have to move in with them after the missus found out.
