Auden Bowman OM 45 2020 - Natural

This Auden Bowman Neo 45 is an all solid wood guitar which has been damaged during travel. The price is fixed accordingly but it should be noted that the guitar plays fine as is. There is some light pick wear beneath the sound hole but nothing too major and not deep.

• Solid Cedar/Mahogany
• Spruce binding
• Rosewood board
• 18:1 ration Auden tuners
• 45mm nut width for great fingerstyle playing
• Brad Clarke Supernatural integrated pickup system

Now the bad part.... the guitar was damaged during travel and has a large crack in the back, there is also 'bruising' visible just below the heel and a further small split which is quite tight so won't show up on photos on the opposite side of the other crack. These are stable and repairable, I have been quoted around £350 by Auden but think that's a bit overpriced. I am not near any repairers so can't source a repair locally so have decided to sell it cheap. It is a great guitar, the sound is (and don't roll your eyes, I actually mean this!) similar to my old Gibson 1968 SJ which is beautiful but fairly quiet as acoustics go. Auden's reputation is well deserved, the build quality is superb. The guitar is fine as a bedroom strummer as is, but will need to be repaired if you want to use it live. I am selling on the understanding that I have pointed out the issues and I won't accept any returns.
