So this is a Brent McElroy, Seattles original and finest!

We've dealt with a number of studios over the years that record these as a go-to guitar, with its super clean and detailed recording tone, a masterpiece!

The build quality and attention to detail is only really matched here in the UK by Stefan Sobell, and this guitar is evocative of that level of refinement.

The difference is that Sobell's are now getting into 12 grand to find!

This piece features Brents' hybrid lattice/X brace combo, of which he says......

'For my Generation2 series, lattice bracing replaces the traditional X bracing pattern I have been using since 1995. I built a classical guitar in 2002 using this and was amazed at the results, the dream of building a steel string acoustic with this bracing stayed with me and after years of working through the design I built the prototype in 2009. The results surpassed my expectations. My philosophy remains the same, thinking of the braces as tone bars, and maintaining the balance between strength, beauty and playability'

Overall condition very good approaching 15 years, light traces of consistent use only with no repairs or issues.

There is an inlay dot installed in the heel plate, this is not a factory addition it was done to seal off a strap button made sometime by prior owner.

A K&K pure mini passive pickup is installed.

Supplied within its original top spec Ameritage humidity controlled case

In addition we will complete a full setup and service including a light refurb done to any given preferences, this will be completed prior to shipping or supplied with no setup, whichever suits.

At the time of purchase, these retailed at more than double the asking price here.

Thanks and best regards
