Ribbecke Halfling

Please listen to included audio track of this beautiful instrument. Recording is acoustic finger-style and shows the amazing tone and clarity of this guitar.

Beautiful Ribbecke Halfling from 2009 in mint condition. I am the original owner and ordered directly from Tom Ribbecke. Upgraded AAA woods and Ribbecke pickup. Sold carved spruce top, Maple back and sides. Build and craftsmanship is impeccable. The Halfling is a hybrid Archtop with the resonance and bass of a flattop and the punch of an archtop in the mids and trebles. I play mainly fingerstyle and this guitar is perfect for that style.  Sound great with bronze strings for acoustic playing or nickel strings for electric (nickels also sound good acoustically). Currently set up with Pyramid nickel round core 50-11.
The nut width is 1.75 with a fast, medium neck profile. Plays effortlessly, great intonation.
Played only in my home studio and for recording. Instrument is in mint condition, no blemishes, and has really opened up. Used on my first two cd’s ten years ago and played occasionally since then (I have many guitars).
I will FaceTime or Zoom if you wish to discuss, see or hear instrument. 3 day approval period.
Buyer to pay actual shipping cost if shipped out of Continental United States.
Serial number 1126. Weighs nice, light 5.8 pounds.
