Frans Elferink / Custom 18" / 2000 / Amber / Guitar

This is a gorgeous Jimmy D'Aquisto inspired archtop made by one of the important upcoming and considered very serious Archtop makers Frans Elferink, called the Modern custom. This is a -one of custom order- and the Condition is Near Mint, frets are mearly unplayed, no dings, dongs or scratches. It measures the large 18 inch Size, natural finish, Selected Engelmann Spruce top, Impressive Quilted Maple Back and Sides, Selected Ebony Fingerboard and D'Aquisto style bridge, Brazilian rosewood Tailpiece, Brazilian rosewood fingerrest, Brazilian peghead over-and under-lay, (peghead overlay with split came on request of the first owner) Gold Gotoh tuning machines, Bartolini Pickups and Senheizer Microphone. the fingerboard is bound with ebony- and decorated with a maple-brazilian-maple purfling. A beautiful detail of the peghead construction is the tapered headstock-shape. All details contributing to a impressive acoustic tone. Once you played it you know this is something different, a work of Art but foremost one of the most impressive Archtops out on the market these days. It is a full 18inch box with a full 650mm (25.4 inch) scale and a 43mm (1&11/16 Inch) Width at the nut. and it is great. I just Love the great feel when playing fingerstyle chord lines. The beautiful flamed maple neck is smooth and low profile and the fret work is impressive. The guitar is set-up with a dream medium low Action and is simply perfect to produce that impressive acoustic tone, but also perfect for smooth and fast also on the upper registers. Workmanship at this point is as good as it gets. The guitar has a comfortable feel with excellent weight. Most important is the impressive sophisticated tone that reminded me both of the feel and tone of that D'Angelico and the Acoustic Power of the Super 400c we sold back in April. If your looking for a unique guitar with excellent Acoustic and Amplified qualities consider this guitar.

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
