Currently strung A-F but I have played it B-G and E-C as well. It kicks ass in any tuning. The drop D tuner is a nice touch. I was absolutely floored when I dropped it to a low A... room rumbling thunder.
It is a spectacular instrument. The 33" scale is just a little tight for me. A few dings here and there but nothing substantial. I'll consider a trade for a 34" scale Elite 5 or 6 string from that time period. I will also consider trade + cash offers. Would do a fodera standard classic 5 + $ but I also like Sadowsky, Alleva Coppolo, Moollon, Vintage Fenders….
Let me know if you have any questions. $8,900 shipped to conus. Estimating trade value at $9,500.
