Sold D-40T Deluxe

[Rich Cohen]

I'm selling my 2018 D-40Traditional Deluxe in mint condition with the OHSC. I recently installed a LR Baggs Lyric pup which uses a small condensor microphone attached to the bridge plate, producing an authentic acoustic sound. There is a volume control in the sound hole. My understanding is that Sweetwater ordered just 18 of these Deluxe models. Upgrades included a rosewood facing on the headstock, MOP blocks on the fretboard, abalone around the sound hole and tortoiseshell binding on the neck and body. The guitar currently has new Ernie Ball "Paradigm" strings, and nicely broken in. Price: $1,900 + $100 shipping only to CONUS.

I bought this D-40 from Richard Petersen, thus it has good karma.

Here's more info from the Sweetwater website describing this guitar.

Wow. That seems like a screaming deal for one of those Sweetwater Deluxe models. Love the MOP inlay and that teardrop burst is perfect.

Thanks. Yes, the deal is good, especially since it's in mint condition and has incredibly fine appointments you don't find on the D-40 Traditional or Standard.

To me this qualifies as a sort of GSR in the same sense as my custom shop F30R Reno Star that was made with upgraded appointments for Reno guitars. Someone is going to be thrilled with this one Rich. GLWS.

Actually, the Sweetwater website page for the guitar does call it a "GSR." See the link on my FS ad above.

I wish my D40T had the natural mahogany sides and back, rather than the dark stain that it has, but it's a minor complaint.

Beauty!

That burst reminds me of the Orpheum bursts.

If you've been on the fence on this D-40T Deluxe, I'd make a move soon. I just got an offer on Reverb.

Good luck with the sale, Rich! Very pretty guitar!

All right all you outlaws. Ya'll just back off now. This one is coming back home to Barton City, USA.

 

[WaltW]

Oh Richard, you were doing so well fending it off, too. I might have but my recovery from 2 in Feb-Mar is still going slowly

 

[richardp69]

Yes, I am a quite weak man. But, I can justify this (kinda) as criteria #2. A guitar I owned once, then sold and wished I hadn't. We all need to find ways to rationalize our decisions.

 

[GGJaguar]

Boomerang guitars are the best.

Boomerang guitars are the best.

Yep, I've got one of them, and luckily, no shipping was involved!

I gave up on recovery. These days, it's just let's have us some fun.
