Tim Bram Tribute thinline archtop custom built

This a my custom built Tim Bram Tribute thinline archtop. Got this new about a year ago. I asked Tim to give it more of a traditional archtop look, so I had him do a traditional headstock instead of the tele style that he usually builds on this model. I also had him do a 25&1/2 scale length versus his standard 25 and a built in pickup. When you open up the case,you can’t help not being overwhelmed. More than just a beautiful guitar, it looks like a piece of art. At least that’s how I felt and still feel. Lovely tone both acoustically and plugged in. Even though it’s a smaller guitar, jazz chords are lush and articulate. Chord melody or single note? Both sound amazing. Tim stated “ The goal with this model was to make an archtop that was smaller and easier to play than a traditional archtop, while still offering the familiar archtop voice. Please go to his web site for lots of sound clips.

Its set up with medium action though you can always just lower it at the bridge. Plays amazing to me.This guitar was $7800 new. In near-mint condition. Home use only. No dings, cracks, repairs and No issues. Pretty much in the same condition it was when I received it.

I never thought I would be selling this so soon, and if you look at the back, it has RR right above the strap button. A little self indulgence I guess. LOL!! But health issues have reared their ugly head, so I am preemptively letting some pieces go. Just sold my Sadowsky archtop and this is my last archtop that I will be selling. Great opportunity for someone to snag an amazing guitar at an amazing price on a like-new Bram.

I ordered this with a Gator soft case due to back issues. Lots of extra padding, so it should ship fine. I have a Martin guitar box and lots of packing materials.
