Tobacco Sunburst - $4400 + shipping/insurance
Serial #37, I built this guitar as a 3Bender tribute to a few of my guitar heroes, the great Gene Parsons, Clarence White, and Marty Stuart. 8 lbs 7 oz. It is on the high side of the weight class but I don't want to hear anyone complain. The Clarence guitar weighs around 14 lbs. It's a heavyweight. It floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee. I'm serious. Play it and you'll know what I mean. Alder body with oil finished maple neck. Both mildly relic'd. Chunky C profile with 6105 frets, 9.5" radius, Jeff Callahan pickups, Mastery bridge with adjustable but locked saddles, Gotoh Vintage Style locking tuners, aged hardware. Try this guitar at Shiloh Music in Mount Juliet, TN.
