This Fairbanks F-35 Advanced Jumbo has just arrived for consignment! As we said when we sold it the first time -- it's the guitar that'll make D-28 purists sit up and take note. Its hugely powerful low end and penetrating sound amongst a mix make it an ideal bluegrass guitar -- yes, you read that correctly. And putting it into drop-D tuning reveals another dimension of resonant clarity--it's incredibly fun to play behind a vocal, and loses nothing when capo'd higher up the fingerboard.

We're tempted to call the condition "as new." This model features the Fairbanks "Aged Finish." And the original owner hasn't added anything in the way of scratches or blemishes (though we're not sure we'd be able to tell even if he had). Our shop has given it a fresh setup and a clean bill of health. This wonderful-sounding guitar is priced with its original TKL hardshell case.
