Anybody in the market?

It's supposed to be getting packed this evening actually so I suppose this is a very short-notice thing.
That's a really nice guitar for $500. All solid wood, and a great tone. JB should buy it I reckon.

Plenty of different models and woods to choose from, and all on the smaller side (00 or 000). You need to buy from overseas though, I don’t think NZ has an importer. These are so much better than the cheap Martins.
I couldn’t get past the Ed Sheeran association :rofl:

For sure, but I’m not going to buy his guitar out of pity!

I have the mahogany one, it is indeed a great guitar.

(But not as great as that Walden you could get from Molly, for less money)
