Beautiful luthier built Gypsy Jazz Guitar. With the price of things going up so much lately, here is a chance to get a real GJ guitar at an affordable price. Two Bridges included, it will ship with the original Ebony bridge and a second ebonized rosewood bridge that yields super low action of 2.5 mm (if desired). Stunning Bubinga back and sides with Spruce top. No cracks or structural issues. Hard poly case included. Enough clearance for a stimer style pickup if needed. Barcus berry sound board transducer installed under bridge. I believe this to be a 2020 model but not certain - serial is 5172.
Superficial flaws - Guitar has moderate wear ands tear as my gigging guitar the last several years. A few nicks to the binding and some scratches that are not easily photographed. Some inlay mods - the fret marker was moved from the 9th fret to the correct 10th french fret. If you look closely you can see evidence of this but nothing that you see while playing. There also appears to be a center fret marker that was replaced with ebony on the 12th fret. No idea why but it does not interfere with anything.
