Acoustic guitar by master luthier Rob Armstrong, with K&K pickup
Rob Armstrong has made instruments for Gordon Giltrap, George Harrison, Dave Swarbrick, Dave Pegg of Fairport Convention, Keith Donnelly and many more musicians at the top of their game. His instruments are always characterised by clarity of sound and easy playability.
This guitar is labelled 709/1003 – that’s instrument 709, his 10th in 2003. I have been the sole owner, recording and gigging with it. I rarely play modern guitars now, so it is time to give this beauty a new home. The guitar is fitted with a K&K Trinity System under-saddle pickup and internal microphone, by far the best pickup combination on the market, in my experience. The internal mic and under-saddle pickup can be altered at will to your preferred mix. New, this system currently sells for £389.
The guitar comes with a Hiscox case which I decorated with acrylic paint, to distinguish it from the pile of cases sometimes found at gigs.
£1,950
