Musical Instrument Description: Acoustic Guitar for sale - Richard Howell 2009 classical guitar
There are no pictures available for this acoustic guitar
Listen to samples at my website ( just google my name zeliotis)My 2009 Richard Howell guitar is now for sale!
I own a virtually new Richard Howell guitar which I ordered directly from the maker in 2008 and which I received in February 2009.
IT IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION
It is his Fleta cedar model and it also has a very unique beautiful herring bone pattern all around the edge of the guitar body. (Check out my guitar gallery pictures)
It is in excellent condition and has very beautiful deep, resonant, big sound. The treble strings really sing and the basses give the sound a strong body. The action, neck and fretboard make playing really easy.
Just to give you an idea see the video (shown above) of my last concert a few months ago (only the cheap camcorder mic was used from 10 meters away yet the unamplified sound is loud and clear) and also listen to my recording of the Spanish dance.
I'm now looking to sell my Howell for professional reasons. Interested buyers email me privately with your serious offer at (go to my website for info)
To give you an idea of the costs: Together with taxes and freight this guitar cost me 6,100 Pounds Sterling.($ 10,160 or 6,790 Euros). This is the minimum that you would have to pay for it now by ordering the guitar directly from the maker, and you would also have to wait for at least between 6 months - 10 months before you received it.
So this is now a unique opportunity for you to own such a great concert instrument immediately and at a great price.
