Here's one that I built a few weeks ago in between orders. It's a beautiful Sapelle style one model. Since it has no customer and was built for fun I'm just taking offers on it. This style is normally priced around $1000 but will gladly entertain and respond to all offers.
Here's the details:
Solid Sapelle top/back/sides
Rosewood fretboard/headstock/bridge
Grover Statite tuning machines
John Pearse strings - .058-.016
Silky smooth satin finish
Hardshell Case
Shipping is $35 insured thru FedEX
This thing really sounds super nice. With these strings I tuned it to D. But with some string gauge adjustments you can use a number of different tunings. Suprisingly great volume, nice deep lows and clear, clean highs with great midrange. It's pictured here with cheap temporary tuners. The Grover statites arrived today and they have been switched out.
A lot of super cheap imports are using the terms "handmade" and "handcrafted" which is really watering down that description. So, I feel it necessary, nowadays, to include the fact that I personally handpick every piece of dry/aged wood. I make everything accept the tuning machines, strings and bridge pins. The entire instrument is made right here in North Carolina by me, myself and I. It is truly a handcrafted, handmade instrument by an actual skilled luthier. This is number 225.
PLease email or call if you'd like more photos or if you have any questions. I accept MC/Visa, Paypal, check or money order.

This one is sold. This "style one" model is one of my favorite ones to build. it's all about the tone and the wood. I build these a lot and the current price for these is $1000. Also, I always have other woods that may have some aesthetic blemishes that I could offer a discount on. It's wasteful to not use perfectly fine wood just because of a few small knots or some discoloration.
Thanks for all of your emails and support.
