$1300.00 OBO
New retails for $1399. Like new condition. Only 1-year old. Plays like a dream. Stored in case. Comes with plush, hard shell case ($100 retail value). Head has been upgraded to JD Balch premium, spotted goatskin ($120 value; see photos). If you would like the head swapped out, I can exchange for a standard Remo frosted, and offer a small discount. Fretboard regularly conditioned. Strings are about 1-month old. Bridge has been upgraded to 5/8” Snuffy Smith (see photos). Capo spikes have been installed at 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, & 11th frets. Does not come with strap.
I am hoping to upgrade to a custom-built open-back, more suitable for clawhammer and old time styles. Need to sell this one first!
