This is a completely custom 2008 Park Montmartre, which is Shelley's version of the Favino model. Many feel that her slight modifications create a more modern, well rounded and (in her words) a breathy sounding instrument which retains the bite and gypsy tone of a good favino copy.
I love this guitar; the tone is equaled only by it's astethic beauty and it is a joy to play. The only reason I am considering selling it is that I am going to Europe for a over a year, and am loathe to bring it as I won't always be in proper housing or good weather conditions. Additonally, I have always kept it humidified, constantly played and polished, and it is pretty near impossible to find someone to caretake it in the same way in which I would. This guitar needs to be played in order to open up to it's fullest potential, and as it is already very open and rich, I hate to let it sit for such a long period of time. When I ordered this guitar it was just about 6k including shipping, and I would part with it for 4,999 plus shipping. Either way, I have attached many pictures and any interested parties can email me at <!-- e --><a href="mailto:nicksansonejazz@yahoo.com">nicksansonejazz@yahoo.com</a><!-- e -->

    What a beautiful guitar. Back and sides are Brazilian rosewood? Looks like a flamed maple neck and curly koa binding. Yowza.

    Good eye! Snakewood tuners and aged tint on the bear claw top too.

    This guitar is so beautiful- I'm actually in pain for not having the $4500 to send!
