2000 Solomon Custom Acoustic/Jazz Archtop Guitar

The basic acoustic guitar was custom designed and handbuilt specifically for David Gillis for just over $6,500.00. Then David had the ebony pickguard and all electronics added at a cost unknown but estimated at another $750-1,000; electronics include floating magnetic pickup and piezo bridge pickup, Volume and Tone, as well as a blending control to mix the two pickups if desired for a wide range of tonal possibilities. Violin oil finish has accumulated some minor surface marks/scratches, but nothing severe and nothing through the finish. Spruce top and Koa back are handcarved. Abalone inlays tastefully accent headstock, 12th fret and tailpiece. 11-layer binding. Sound port on upper bout. Cedar Creek Custom case included of course. Note: Koa used was the most highly figured piece Erich had ever used or seen; he mentioned this piece was an extremely high-dollar piece he had originally set aside for himself, but eventually used for David's guitar (added value of the Koa estimated by Erich at $1,000-$2,000 over the original price). Total estimated value: $8,500-$10,000. I have chosen to list it at the price at $6,500 which is what it originally sold for not counting the many upgrades highlighted above. While I will consider offers, please be as reasonable as possible.

Professionally packed and shipping provided to the upper 48 states ONLY—sorry, no exceptions with this instrument. Positive feedback bidders only.

Thanks for taking the time to view this listing and best of luck should you decide to bid :)
