Shelley Park Montmarte #250 from 2011 for sale

Hello Friends,

A few months ago, I was fortunate enough to buy this guitar on this forum, and am now looking to sell it, hopefully to a member of the community. It is a stunning guitar with a beautiful Bearclaw Spruce top and an impressive tone. I have loved it the times that I have played it, but recently acquired a Favino Model 10, and it feels right to let this guitar go to someone who is going to play it, as it deserves to be played. I have kept it in a humidity controlled case. I will post the text from the original seller below, and add photos from when it was purchased last Summer and from this month, too.

From the original seller: "This one features Bearclaw Spruce, East Indian Rosewood Back and Sides, Amboyna Burl veneer and insert, and has a Bigtone pickup. The only scratches are from when one of the big names in this music tried it out. The scale length is 660mm with her narrowest neck width (I requested this for my small hands). Back and sides are solid wood, not veneer. The hard shell case unfortunately has one of the buckles broken but that is not a problem. The guitar has been well stored well in a maritime climate (near Seattle). I paid $4300 for it originally. Now such a guitar would be around $5300 as she raised her prices recently. Included will be the allen wrench one uses to adjust the truss rod."

There is a small nick at the top of the headstock which is hard to see, but I've included that in the photos below.

I am offering it for $3500 or best offer, plus shipping, US only. I can ship it as well fully insured and well packed, via UPS. Part of me secretly wishes to keep this stunner, but it deserves to be in the right hands. Cheers!

I will post it to Reverb soon, but wanted to post it here first. Sending good wishes to the community! D. Tirch
