This is a very rare 14-fret 00 cutaway made by famed luthier Robert Anderson of Vancouver, B.C. as an Eric Schoenberg signature Soloist model. Made of lovely East Indian Rosewood and likely Sitka or Englemann spruce top, this is one of the lightest builds you will find at 3-1/2 pounds. It has a lovely varnish finish, so resonates for days. Perfect balance across the strings. Excels at fingerstyle and strumming, and I suspect at flatpicking as well, but that's not my style.
The sound is very Martinesque as you'd expect.

The only significant mark is one small scratch on the top that was filled, but minor only and noted for accuracy.
