Hey, here's a bird looking for a buyer. My S6 Folk needs to go to make way for a new acquisition. It's a 2002 model, well-seasoned, and it's received plenty of TLC lately. Several frets have been reglued and reworked by one of the best acoustic shops in town. It received a full setup in early summer, and a MacPherson bone saddle is installed. Frankly, I put more work and money into this one than I intended, but it was too nice to set aside as unplayable.
Now it's really dialed in, with 2.50 mm action at the 12th fret. Only one sign of its age- a patch of cedar top below the soundhole, where you might rest your fingers, has developed deeper grain. The color hasn't changed, though, so this can't ordinarily be seen. A pickguard of your choice would fix it, too. I'll take pictures of this tomorrow, showing the intricate rosette. It appears to be a ring of intricate marquetry composed of tiny chevrons of different wood shades, but how could that be done at this low price range? I've always wondered about that...
I'd call the tone of this guitar strong and fundamental. It's so much louder than a parlour, while being almost as compact. It would be a great candidate for adding a pickup, since its overtones aren't so strong.
I don't see many guitars being sold here, but I'll give fellow cabinistas first crack at this. I'd like $300, or $350 with a TRIC case.
