Before reading the description of this item, I urge you to first check out my Ebay Seller Feedback. As you will see, my feedback is not only 100% positive--it's over-the-top giddy, a number noting not only the instrument's quality but also my integrity and knowledge and objectivity.  I never disappoint.  (To find out why buyers again and again describe my sells as "best experience I've ever had on Ebay," skip the description and see the WHAT I DO section at the end of the listing.)*******************This is a serious guitar worth serious consideration but, all things considered, at an amazing price:  a work of art, unlike any other, it was built only one year--2011--and is identical to the currently offered T146SM-SB, which discounts for $2000,except for two differences:  a wonderfully comfortable 15 inch lower bout and a custom-cut $250 molded hard shell case.I'm not aware of any other guitar ever made with this guitar's prevailing features:  all hand-carved, totally hollow thinline archtop.  Top is Spruce, body is Mahogany, fretboard, pickguard and tailpiece are EBONY.  Exquisite details:  Gold hardware; Gotoh deluxe tuners; hidden screwed Ebony pickguard (I've removed because I prefer to show the top, but will be included); perfect silky nitro finish.  (Full specs below.)Perfect playing condition, absolutely no issues.  Very minor signs of wear--couple marks on upper treb cutaway.  AMAZING ACTION--easiest playing guitar I've ever seen.  (Warning:  If you play this one, all your others will disappoint.)  Sound is exceptional on two fronts.  First, unplugged:  Despite thin profile, it actually sounds great acoustically--plenty loud and full enough to practice alone.  With an amp, tremendous versatility:  with flats, a true Jazzer; with roundwounds, depending on the amp, it can go anywhere--country, rock, terrific for blues.  If you want to invest all your dough into one great one, this might be the perfect one to have if your'e having one.  This sold for over 2 grand in 2011 and, due to its being rare, is guaranteed to accrue in value. (I know, that's not why your'e buying it, but still nice to have that assurance; you can't lose money on this instrument.  Plus, the case--built for this guitar--adds tremendous value over original price.)Offered with "good intent" return:  If you but with the intention to keep (not just "try out"), pay full listing price and opt to return, no problem--though, frankly, it's pretty hard to imagine that this one is going to get sent back.  SPECS:Neck Material: Maple

WHAT I DOFor over a decade, I have searched out guitars of every conceivable sort, always looking for the unique instrument, especially those that are, 1.) great deals;  and/or 2.) possessed of real character.  I take care to ensure that each guitar is set up and playable as is--new strings, action as described, NO ISSUES:  If you get it from me, it's ready to play out of the box.  My prices are always competitive, usually well below what a similar instrument comparably set up would sell for elsewhere.  A few typical Ebay feedbacks (some from repeat buyers):Fantastic! As promised. Great communication. Great guitar.
