FS - Matthew Carter (Elysian Guitars) Luthier built guitar

sijos1 · August 4

price reduction to £600. Will ship to UK

This is a luthier built beauty from Matthew Carter in his days building guitars in Brighton. He now operates as Elysian Guitars with prices starting at nearly £4K.

This all solid guitar has some lovely spruce (assume Sitka) on top with some stunning Brazilian mahogany on back and sides. It’s lovely to play with a very comfortable neck - not too slim, not too chunky - just right. The action is good as I have just done a neck reset. Sounds amazing as well. Lovely big tones for fingerstyle

There is some playwear and a bit of lacquer checking but nothing structural and just goes to show how nice it is to play.

Lower bout 16”. Upper bout 12”. Depth 4”. Nut width 44mm. Super comfy.

Fitted with a JJB Prestige 330 (similar to K&K)

Comes with decent hard case

This is really tempting! Such a bargain for a hand built all solid wood guitar!

You'd pay half that for a back and sides with the spot of flame in it!

It really is a bargain.

Thank you for uploading the photo. I am considering keeping this as it is way too much guitar for £600.

Do you have any sound demos?

That looks lovey. I’m not in the market but it looks great.
