Product Overview
Hold on to your wounded bumblebee, because this is a once in a lifetime chance at owning an amazing instrument.
This is not just one of the 100 pieces made in this very limited edition, this is Pilot #1 and was the guitar Nuno personally played, evaluated and approved prior to signing off on the special edition production run. This is THE guitar he gave the thumbs up to. Don't miss out. Be quick or be dead, as one of our favorite customers likes to say.
Original MSRP on this guitar 10 years ago was $7500. That's for one of the 100 piece production run guitars. Again, this is the Pilot of that run, so keep that in mind when you are contemplating that add to cart button.
Pictures are the best way to tell the III Sides of this story, and they definitely say More than Words could. OK, I'm done. Check out the pics.
CONDITION:
Like it came out of a time capsule, with the exception of a little bit of shine in the picking area from what appears to be maybe 3 hours of play time over the course of the last 10 years. It looks like the satin finish has been slightly polished to a bit more of a gloss from contact with finger tips. That's it. No damage, scratches, cracks, wear, pitting, corrosion, etc.
