SOLD Culpepper #72 Cedar/Padauk negra

Hola a tod@s,
I have a guitar for sale, although it won't be totally finished until the end of the month. The pictures and video below were taken after just a couple coats of shellac.
Lately my flamenco guitars have consistently fulfilled my goals of making "dream guitars". I set out to make guitars that are edgy, percussive and loud on the one hand, but also subtle, melodic and sweet when played more gently. My output is quite consistent now but I still sometimes get one that I consider "above the curve" like this one. Sure, I am trying to sell the guitar. But I honestly believe there is a bit of magic in this one. It's very light in weight.

I honestly don't know how to price it. If I were to price it at what I really think it's worth, it would be quite a bit higher than my normal price. On the other hand, I normally sell guitars that aren't custom orders for a bit lower, because the opportunity to customize isn't there.

I think I will just go ahead and price this at $3500 which is my normal price including a case.

Also, if you reserve this guitar before it's finished, you get your choice of tuning machines.

Top: Western Red Cedar
Back and sides: Andaman Padauk
Neck/fingerboard: Spanish Cedar/Ebony
Bridge, headplate, bindings: Indian Rosewood
Scale lenght/nut width: 655/52

Please excuse the sloppy playing:

Final French Polishing session on this beautiful roja.
