SOLD Richard Bartram TS acoustic guitar: PRICE DROP
Hi
I am thinking long and hard about selling my beautifully built acoustic, hand made in Littleport by Richard Bartram. It was purchased new from a shop in London for which, by all accounts, Richard supplied with a few of his guitars from this period.
It was built in 1999, if memory serves. The date and Richard's signature are pencilled inside on the guitar top.
It is his TS model, a slope-shouldered
large bodied guitar very similar in shape to a Gibson J35/45. The sound
is open, warm and responsive with great bass articulation.
Solid spruce top
Solid mahogany back and sides
Rosewood fingerboard
Schaller machine heads
First class workmanship throughout - see photo of the neck to body
join as an example of this. All purfling, rosette, bridge and pins
handmade by Richard. The only component on the guitar not made by him
are the machine heads.
There is one scratch on the edge of the top. It's a lacquer mark and not structural. Please see final image.
Looking for circa £1600 incl Hiscox case. Selling for £1300. NOW: £900
PM me if interested.
Based in SE London
Thanks.

Thanks. It is a Very nice guitar. Just surplus to requirements now that I only use small bodied instruments.
**Open to offers if anyone is interested**
Good luck with the sale!
Thanks. Agreed. He's a super nice chap to boot, too!
