This guitar is easy to fret and has a wonderful sound. Crisp and clear yet rich in sound. I haven't looked up the new custom price for this guitar but am told it is somewhere between $10,000 and $11,000. My reserve is well below the dealer cost! I am the second owner having this guitar since 2001. As already stated it is virtually unplayed.
