This is a one-of-a-kind electric guitar built with love and passion by solo artisan luth Patrick Hufschmid in his workshop located next to Montreux Switzerland. He builds a very limited amount of guitars, approx. 7/8 per annum. All totally hand made from old, exotic and salvaged woods, each Hufschmid instrument is completely unique, the result of 26 years of research, passion and dedication.

Condition : a few small nicks / scratches in the delicate oiled finish which has had a darkening stain applied at some point by a prior owner. The original Kent Armstrong pickups have been upgraded to a set of Handwound Sidewynder humbuckers, a hognose in the neck and a lancehead bridge. These rare boutique pickups, are highly regarded for offering high power while retaining excellent focus and clarity.

Hufschmid guitars have an entry price of €3650+ for a plaintop model and this was purchased second hand by its most recent owner for over €2400. This has been priced for a quick sale at a heavily discounted €1650.
