Bown J model spruce/ziricote 1989 - SOLD

Another masterpiece from Ralph in spruce and stunning ziricote. This amazing J (small jumbo 16" lower bout) has a depth of tone that is incredible, the bass is very deep but not overpowering, the mids are warm and complex, trebles sweet and clear. Its most remarkable feature is the balance and response, reputations like Ralph's are hard won and well deserved. There is a short split in the back, that was repaired and cleated by Ralph when it was a few months old. With undersaddle pickup and Calton case.

	Most of my used guitars come to me either in part exchange for new guitars or as commission (consignment) sales. As well as taking in guitars from the makers I represent and other individual workshops and individual makers I take guitars from the ‘famous names’. See my FAQ's for part exchange valuations.
