Up for sale is this 1995 Ted Thompson T1 Deluxe. It features:
Every few months, a guitar comes through the shop that just knocks my socks off, and this Thompson is currently that guitar. This one is a real sleeper - it has a very simple aesthetic and feel, but as soon as you strum an open G chord, the heavens open up and angels start blasting trumpets. I don't think I've ever heard a box this size that puts out so much volume and vibrancy. It has a simple fundamental, with just a tiny bit of layered color from the cedar. I'll also point out the 1 and 7/8" nut, which will give you fingerstyle players plenty of room to work. Comes with original hardshell case.
Cosmetically, this guitar is in good to very good condition. There are a few impressions and scrapes on the softer cedar top that I couldn't photograph, and it shows very light playwear expected of a 20-year-old guitar.
