Condition:

Excellent overall condition with very minimal play wear. There are two very small, light surface scratches on the back (shown in photos).

Tone / Playability:

This guitar has a strong torrefied Lutz spruce + rosewood voice—clear, powerful low end, focused mids, and a sweet, open top. The torrefied woods give it a more played-in, broken-in character with excellent headroom and a dry, articulate response that really shines for flatpicking and lead work.


The carbon fiber reinforcement adds extra stiffness and responsiveness, helping with note separation and consistency when you dig in.


The compensated nut and saddle keep intonation dialed across the neck, and the comfortable C-shaped neck plays fast without feeling too thin.


The K&K Pure Mini delivers a natural, woody amplified tone—great for live use.
