Ok, this guitar looks like it was built professionally, however the finish is not up to par (i've seen many a good luthier build a guitar, and when it came to finishing, wasn't the best). The body size/shape etc is that of a Martin D-28 style. Behind the not 'the best looking kid on the block' looks, is an incredible tone. In this resonator, is a sand cast spider, a true Quarterman cone, a McIntyre pickup, bone nut and maple bridge. The tone is much better than any of the basic Regal etc that go for aroudn $400+, however due to not being a name brand, and a less than perfect finish, I'm letting this go for $275 + shipping. (basically for a bit more than you'd pay for a quarterman cone, mcintyre pickup, bone nut, spider, covers etc) you can have a top notch instrument...
