Model: c. 2001 Rodrigo Moreira Top: Alaskan yellow cedar Back and Sides: Brazilian Scale: 650mm Nut: 52mm Finish: French Tuners: Schaller (Hauser style) Country: USA Year: Undated, c. 2001 Condition: Good Availability: Commission Sale Seller's Location: USA Item number: u-01Moreira Price: $2,875 US Rodrigo Moreira is a Brazilian luthier, whose guitars are becoming well-known, and now sell new for $4500-5000. Although he learned his craft in Brazil from his grandfather, he now resides in Massachusetts. He is also the president of the Brazilian Rosewood Foundation which exports legal Brazilian rosewood from stumps left over in old logging areas. This guitar is generally in good condition. There are some minor marks in the finish consistent with use. The owner reports that there are a couple of "cracks" which he describes as about 1/2 inch long on the lower bout, they are too small to photograph well, and have been stable in the years he has owned the guitar. He adds "I don't even know if the go through" the wood. The action is set up nicely and there is sufficient bone showing above the bridge to adjust the action should this ever be required. |
