This guitar was built especially for the Namm show 2009, and was built in Lewiston, Maine. It is the limited edition of the Baden A series, and signed by TJ Baden (ex Taylor Guitars). It was a collaborative effort between Baden Guitars and Pantheon Guitar collective, headed by Dana Bourgeois. Exotic is the only way to describe this piece of work. The top is Bear Claw Spruce, while the back and sides are quilted African Cherrywood (Makore). Binding/trim is all Koa wood. The headstock veneer is Ebony, with the Baden logo engraved. Very well balanced sound and extremely playable guitar. Nice medium profile neck. Gotoh 510 tuners. There is one small area where very small pick marks are apparent, but only if you look for them. Guitar has been meticuloulsy care for and is very rare. Will include a Fishman Aura Ellipse pickup with the guitar (not installed). Comes with top of the line TKL case.
