(On hold) Mario Beauregard MB Archtop hand carved Hollow body thinline with Lollar Imperial Humbucker Sakashta

I am no longer archtop player. Here is your chance to get this rare handcrafted instrument from the archtop history with a cost of Gibson reissue. Attached here is the demo link of the the same model. 

This MB model was one of the very first ones of this species built by luthier Mario Beauregard in 2005, who studied with Sakashta. You probably know how special all this is about, this design took much more times to build than traditional archtop. Masterpiece handcrafted by Mario.

Beside how well and balance the carved top and back being mirrored. This beautiful sounding archtop is as good as it gets. Featuring some unique Sakashta style designs, included the large wooden tailpiece stud anchoring by a piece of carved ebony and the round carved rim side.

Original incredible fret job. (The round edge of each fret is beautiful carved, highest level craftsmanship I've ever seen.)

A blemish over finish on the back of the lower horn and high E side's neck binding, otherwise only normal wears after years of well cared playing. (Tried to have it shown on the listed photos)

Oxidised 3 way switch had been professionally replaced. Analysis Plus QiJack-mono-TS output jack was upgraded alongside with the Lollar Imperial Humbucker Set, which is for sure a big upgrade by replacing the plastic cover pickups this guitar came with.

This guitar will be shipped with fastest shipment available with original case.

I do not accept returns as I don't want a guitar of
such a value and rarity to be repackaged and
shipped all over the place. Only few of these were ever be made.
