My dear friend Jason Kostal, world renown luthier, has decided to sell part of his amazing guitar collection and has invested his trust in me to handle it. As he explains in the video himself "It is time to let someone who will play them enjoy these world class instruments". The instruments were kept in a humidity and temperature controlled room and are pretty much in new condition. They were used as a "sound library", barely played yet perfectly maintained in top condition. Please contact me for international shipping as price and regulations may vary greatly.
This very special Fly is in new condition and comes with all tags, case candy, cable and original case. Here is what Ken told me about them:
Hi Antoine, This Fly guitar was made with a one piece body of Butternut. Butternut trees are uncommon, and usually don’t live very long, so trees big enough to make one piece guitar bodies are very rare. We were fortunate to get a little pile of beautiful Butternut boards in 1998. Very stable, resonant, and light weight. The Fly guitars made from this wood sound wonderful, kind of like a cross between swamp ash and mahogany, only better. We would have made lots more of these if we could have found the material. There was only enough wood to build about 60, + or - , I can’t remember the number exactly. Paul Simon owns two of these, and used one every night on tour with Bob Dylan in 1999, as I remember it. This guitar (...) was built in one of the “golden years” of our production, and, at least in the photos, appears like new. I signed them all, as we called it a special edition or something, but it’s really only because we were never able to get any more beautiful wood like this, so me signing them was just a kiss on the way out the door.
