Lazy River Walnut & Spruce Weiss - SOLD
I'm probably going to suffer some serious seller's remorse, but I need to let this go to a more deserving home where it'll get more playing time. I seem to have too few hours in the day to spend on too many instruments, and I'd like to concentrate fully on reso.
This guitar was built a little over a year ago. I buffed out the satin finish to a gloss. I replaced the original Grover open-gear tuners, which I found a bit rough, with Gotoh 510 minis - a big improvement in tuning smoothness and stability. They're what Gotoh calls "cosmo black," kind of a translucent black over chrome, with ivoroid knobs. (Because of the thinness of the headstock, I had to use two washers under the nut for each tuner – the top washer is black and the barely-visible washer underneath is chrome.) There are a number of small dings and scratches on the guitar, but nothing too major. My finger is pointing at the most noticeable ding in one of the photos - it's on the player's side of the neck. There's an endpin jack wired to a mini-jack mounted to the interior of the guitar with double-stick tape, which I used with a Sunrise pickup (not included). It comes with a Gold Tone case (made by TKL) which is a little nicer than the HSC it came with.
Describing tone is futile, of course, but I'd say the sound is big, full, clear, and well balanced, and it has opened up considerably since I've owned it.
The original price was $1,500 - I'm asking $950 (cashiers check or money order, please) including FedEx insured shipping within the U.S. Please PM me if interested.
