Up for your consideration is a very beautiful (real!!) quartersawn Brazilian Rosewood (back and sides), Red Cedar (top) and walnut neck, large body resonator guitar #96B, built by JD Myers of Ohio under the Fishook name. This is a very high-end guitar that was custom built for me in 2013. JD has not built any guitars in a few years, as far as I know, and I don’t know whether he intends to start production again. His Facebook page (Fishook Resonator Guitars) is still active so, if you are not familiar with the quality of his work, I would suggest that you check it out. There are other players on the website here who own Fishook guitars and can attest to the standard they achieve.
These come up for sale very infrequently and I have added some links below so you can see what comparable instruments cost, most of which are no longer available. This guitar listed new at $5600.00 at the time and who knows what it would cost now with the increasing price of Brazilian! I am asking $4900.00 plus $100.00 shipping. Message me for additional information and details including a 3-day inspection and approval arrangement, considering the expense and level of this instrument. However, actual shipping charges will not be refunded.
An audio clip will be posted as time allows, however, playing the instrument in person is the very best way to evaluate it, to that end, I will not try to describe the sound except to admit that it is large. This is an open sound well, with post design. It has a #14 spider, ebonex-capped bridge inserts, Scheerhorn cone, Gotoh 510 tuners, lyre cover plate, open screen holes, ebony fretboard with metal frets, custom bloodwood binding, snowflake fretboard inlays and no pickup. There are a very few, very tiny pick marks on the top which will not show in photos. Otherwise the condition is as new.
