2022 Craig Bumgarner#84 for sale

daverepairdaverepair Vermont, USANew Craig Bumgarner 'Selmer' style

I bought this new last year. It’s a fine instrument, and many here are aware of Craig’s quality builds. The tone, volume and cut are excellent. I find, however, I mostly play my vintage Epiphone and Gibson archtops, preferring a heavier string gauge, and how they suit my mix of vintage jazz and roots/ Americana. The guitar comes in a handmade, fitted, European made case, purchased from ****.com last year at the same time. $3500, plus shipping.

I’m a full time luthier doing repairs: there is a video of my demoing the CB at my FB page, ‘David Richard Luthier’. I have sold quite a few guitars on Reverb, with excellent feedback, as ‘Dave’s Shop’, in Vermont. More pics on request.

(I haven’t yet listed this on Reverb, hoping to avoid the fees).

    The Baumgartner is nice, but the instrument that has me drooling is the resurrected Epiphone you used to demo the Kent Armstrong pickup. Not that I need another archtop, since I've had a '46 Broadway for 20 years now. (It currently wears a repro DeArmond.)

    Hi Dave, this isn't by chance still available? Thanks

    I remember seeing this one sold on his Reverb listing. Craig Bumgarner has a used one for sale on his website, CB #80.

    Wow, lovely guitars! Interesting to see Craig's soundholes are positioned a little higher than traditional Selmers, maybe by about 12 or 14mm. I wonder what that positioning does to tone and volume. It reminds me of the later Busatos.

    Dave, too bad you're selling! I'm perpetually trying to set up a regular-ish Vermont GJ jam. At least I know I can go to Corinth instead of Montreal if I need something fixed...
