FS: 2017 Shopis D'Artagnan Model F - NOW IN NASHVILLE!

croth

*** I AM LIVING IN NASHVILLE NOW. I MANAGED TO GET THE GUITAR HERE. IF ANYONE LOCAL IS INTERESTED IN CHECKING IT OUT IN PERSON, PLEASE GET IN TOUCH. SINCE I AM STILL NOT 100% SETTLED, I CANNOT SHIP AT THE MOMENT. ***

I have for sale an excellent, near-new-like condition 2017 Rodrigo Shopis D'Artignan Model F guitar.

To my knowledge, I am the original owner and bought this directly from Rodrigo. Though I didn't buy it in 2017, the story has it that Rodrigo kept this guitar for himself until he agreed, with much prodding, to sell it to me in 2022. I felt myself fortunate.

I just sold my house in NY and my wife and I have moved to Nashville. I no longer have the room to keep all of my guitars. I have to reluctantly choose which few to keep and which should go. Parting with this one was the most difficult decision.

This guitar features a very fine sitka spruce top, walnut neck, ebony fretboard, solid Indian rosewood back and sides as is Rodrigo's trademark, and violin oil finish. It has high-end tuners (I believe they're MIllers), MOP dot markers in the fretboard, and all excellent finish work. This is a 16 1/2" lower bout Favino-sized guitar.

The case is a high-quality Guardian and the guitar fits perfectly. This guitar has low action, is very easy to play, yet retains very good volume and great tone.

Specs:

Nut width 43mm at 0 fret

Width at 12th fret 53mm

Scale Length 670mm

Solid Indian Rosewood Back & Sides

Sitka Spruce soundboard

walnut neck

Fretboard – ebony

Body width 421mm (16.57”)

That guitar is cool AF. I hope it sells.

It looks from the pictures like the lower bout is a lot wider in proportion to the upper bout but I can't tell if that's just the camera angle? It's a cool look.

It's a Favino proportioned body, he mentioned in the description, lower bout is 16.5". I've been drooling over it.

Ugh. If I hadn't spent a ton of coin on a custom GJ guitar, would be all over this...feel like it's just beckoning one of us to grab it lol. Alas, I would need to sell something first...

On that note, anyone been looking for a Dupont Busato?? ;)

What dupont busato do you have? What do you think of it. I've been without my guitars for several months now, and I find myself missing my busato royale more than any of my others. I think its the raw power and projection. This shopis certainly looks great though!
