R. Cogger Flamenco blanca - $1000

Hey guys, I thought I would try this here before I go to ebay.
This is a great Flamenco blanca, handmade by Richard Cogger in 2002. It was his second guitar. I performed on this guitar for a while before I made my first and it really is totally concert quality. It is a copy of a 1979 Ramirez 1aF.
The trebles really sing and it's a loud guitar.. it was great for dance accomp. One of the lightest guitars I've picked up. It's also extremely comfy to play with low action but not too much buzz, great fretwork.

Top: Western Red Cedar
Back & Sides: Monterrey Cypress
Neck/ fingerboard: Spanish cedar/ebony
Scale: 650 mm
Nut: 54 mm
Finish: French Polish
Tuners: Gotoh
Bindings, bridge, head veneer: Indian rosewood

Sound sample:

Downsides: The finish on the top is beat to hell and the rest of the guitar has some scratches as well. But the guitar is completely sound structurally.

Damage to top: nail marks under the golpeador and a botched upper golpeador removal that took off some finish and a bit of wood
obviously, this guitar has been played
