Forum rules
Registered members only may use this section for placing free, non-commercial ads for tangible goods. What do we mean by "non-commercial?" If you're an instrument builder you cannot place a free ad here to sell or trade your instruments. If you're a dealer you cannot place an ad here to sell or trade whatever you deal in. Use this section to look for items you want as well - begin the title of your discussion with the shorthand WTB (for Want To Buy), WTT (for Want To Trade), FS (for For Sale), or FREE if you have a tangible item to give away.

Please do not use the discussion here to engage in negotiations with a seller/buyer, nor ask the other party to contact you - you should contact that person directly. Their contact info is available by clicking on their name, "profile", "PM" or "e-mail" icons in the message.

You may NOT solicit to buy or sell services, for people to give you goods or services for free, to sell more than two of the same item, or to sell more than a couple of related items!!

MIMForum etiquette is to post the asking price for the item you are selling; to e-mail the buyer/seller instead of posting a message here, which they may not see, asking them to contact you; and to respond to all e-mail inquiries. Please do not leave your potential buyer/seller hanging.

Members may also use this section to solicit other members to join them in a bulk purchase to meet a minimum order, as long as the organizer is not profiting from the transaction, and the item being purchased in bulk is not sold in smaller quantities by any of our advertisers, or the bulk purchase being organized is a purchase from an advertiser. Please remember that any such transaction is strictly between the parties involved and the MIMForum cannot be responsible for any unfavorable outcome.

Sell your item? Earn a bundle? If you would like to send a small percentage of the sum to help support the MIMForum and keep it online, we won't object! You can use our subscription form and send any amount you wish. Thanks!

Your ad should be limited to 50 words and may contain non-commercial attachments. Links to graphics (that do not display as part of your ad) are OK as long as they are not at your commercial website. Please ask the sysop to delete your ad if the item sells or you find what you want, or post a message saying "Sold" (or whatever). Otherwise the shelf-life of an ad placed here will be 60 days. If you are interested in purchasing a commercial ad, please see our ad rates page. Please do not "bump" your ad, doing so will result in its immediate removal. Thanks.
Do not post your e-mail address, home address, or phone number!!

Almost A Guitar Kit

Post by Dan Pennington »

I bought this from a local guy who started it. He got into a problem with the neck block and gave up. It sat under his bed for almost 10 years. I've had it about a year and have decided that I'm not going to finish it. Top is some kind of spruce that has aged to nice gold color. The back and sides are nice fine grained mahogany.

Since the sides have not been bent yet, it could be a dreadnaught, a 000, a 00, or maybe even a 14 fret parlor guitar. As you can see, the top and back have been joined and braced. The rosette has been inlaid and the sound hole is cut out. The top bracing has been tapered but not scalloped. The back bracing needs shaping. The guy did pretty good work, in my opinion.
Comes with a Martin style neck and fretted & inlaid fingerboard, peg head overlay, and kerfing.
Does not include neck & tail blocks, purfling, binding, nut, bridge, and tuners. The builder was in the process of packing and moving when I bought the kit. He couldn't find the small stuff.

$200 includes shipping
