This was for sale on the forum a while back and I think the member put it on consignment there. I played it in the violin room for about 20 minutes my last visit and it was very nice. No room in the closet right now though.....and no need

Nice guitar

You stated that this guitar was very lightly used, and also that it has fully opened up due to it's age. If the guitar has not been played much, which you seem to indicate, then it may still open up for you even more. The age of the instrument may be a factor, but it's the playing of the instrument that truly gets it to open up. So the good news is that your Bourgeosis may even get better yet! Of course, it's entirely possible that the original owner played the heck out of the guitar and didn't mar the instrument up in the process. But, typically, a guitar of that age and condition has not been played all that much. Congratulations on a fine purchase. The Bubinga looks really nice!

Yes, he sure does - it makes it a bit special I think...
