I’m looking
to sell my Froggy Bottom F-14 deluxe from 2012. The guitar has a top made of Adirondack
spruce. The back and sides are made of Indian rosewood. All specifications are
standard for this model and can be found on the Froggy Bottom website. The neck
width is 1 ¾” and the string spacing at the saddle is 2 3/16”.
The guitar
is in very good to excellent shape with no significant structural problems,
cracks, dents, scratches, or repairs. The only issues worth mentioning are a small
mark on the neck, a small chip on the bridge where the low E string attaches,
and some slight bubbling of the finish where a few fret ends have pushed on it
a bit during the dry part of the year.
The
playability of the guitar is perfect with nearly no visible fret wear and very
comfortable action at around 2.2mm on the low E at the 12th fret and
saddle to spare.
The guitar has a K&K mini pickup installed and travels in the original case.
The only
reason that I am selling is that I have ordered a custom instrument from Froggy
Bottom that will be very similar to this one, but with a few small customizations
so that the instrument fits me better. This is a truly master grade instrument
that has to be played to fully understand how special it really is.
The new
price on this guitar is $8645 in the USA not including taxes or import duty. In Europe
these are hard to find, and when you do they cost over 9000 Euro.
I
would be interested in trade offers for other acoustic guitars of similar quality.
Please contact me with details including model name, year, condition, and
expected trade value.
The guitar
is located in Switzerland but I am happy to ship the guitar worldwide at the actual rates. Germany has just relaxed it's quarantine rules, so I can now offer shipping from within the EU which simplifies the import procedure.
