Rosewood & Adirondack Spruce Acoustic Guitar - By Master Luthier Frank Finocchio, Formerly of Martin

I am the original owner, a custom build for me.  Frank installed a Fishman Ellipse Matrix Blend during the build. The aged rosewood is beautiful and from a stash that Frank collected over 20 years ago. Adirondack spruce top, aka red spruce has a wide grain and produces a unique tone. A few superficial marks on the top, see the last four pictures. The back, sides and neck are pretty much mint. Kept in my smoke free home, played and loved. Brazilian rosewood binding and headstock overlay. Abalone inlay is used to accent the guitar tastefully.   The neck measures 1 3/4" wide at the nut.   .980" thickness behind the first fret to the back of the neck. The scale is 25 1/2". The body dimensions are as follows, waist 9 5/16", upper bout 11 7/16" and lower bout 15 1/4". 

Frank worked at Martin Factory and he had a very special role. He has the unique ability to make things much better than what is considered the norm. The back is not flat, instead it is a formed parabolic shape of solid rosewood using his proprietary process. This feature provides 100% satisfying tone and volume. This is something that he developed over the years. He is a true professional and passionate about his art.

Only trades considered would be a Gibson ES-330 or ES-335.

Sounds amazing, projection is surprising! Please ask me if you have any questions and check my feedback. Listen to the YouTube link of a similar guitar.
