Sold, Demo of Altman Guitars AD-4, Brazilian rosewood & Adirondack spruce

Selling this one for a friend. He has asked me to hold the Guitar, deal with shipping and handle the transaction, as he believes it is easier to sell in the US.

Here we have an Altman Guitars AD-4, SN 188, with 45 style inlay, old growth Adirondack red spruce top, a very striking and upgraded set of Brazilian rosewood, engraved gold Waverly tuners, Ebony fingerboard with a scale length of 25.34, slotted Ebony bridge with long mammoth ivory saddle, forward shifted and scalloped red spruce X bracing, frets only show a shadow of use, full mid 30s inspired mahogany neck with volute, Brazilian Rosewood Peg head overlay, 1 3/4 nut, 2 9/32 bridge spacing, nitro lacquer finish, and comes housed in a fiberglass Hoffee case.

This instrument is built from About the best materials that money can buy, as is the tradition of Altman. These days, we are hard-pressed to find a set of Brazilian like this. It has a very big sound, And excites easily by the right hand. The treble is very luscious, while the bass is deep, but maintains a nice punch and control. The action is low, .092 bass, and .072 on the treble E, and playability is good with medium gauge strings. A small heel gap had developed on the bottom treble side, thus the instrument was sent and just returned from Judge Wolfe, where an expert neck set and set up were performed. The saddle is .130 above the bridge, so there won’t be any worry if far in the future you want to lower the action any.

Asking price is $12,000 OBO.
