2004 Bruce Sexauer FT-15-000

This 2004 Bruce Sexauer 000 is easily one of the finest fingerstyle guitars we have ever played. 

California base luthier Bruce Sexauer has been a professional luthier for 57-years. He primarily makes steel stringed acoustic flattops but he has made a wide variety of stringed instruments over the years (see his website). We would describe Bruce's approach as being based in tradition, but he incorporates evolutionary design improvements in his instruments that make them high performance music machines. He also is an accomplished player and  brings those senses and experiences to his craft. Bruce is also one of the few luthiers who works without body molds and can literally make any size or shape a client might be looking for (keeping in mind acoustic sensibilities).

This 000 boasts a Carpathian spruce top with Honduran rosewood back and sides making an extremely sensitive and responsive instrument that has clear, tight bass, a very vocal-like midrange, and soaring trebles. It also has more volume and headroom one would expect for a 12-fret 000 style body. 

It is in fantastic condition for a 20 year old instrument, with very minor play wear. It's beautiful oil varnish finish, applied by Bruce himself, looks like it was done yesterday. 

Truly a master instrument. Calton flight case included.
