2004 Deering John Hartford Blonde
We have seen just a handful of Deering John Hartford models in the store, but we have NEVER seen one in a natural blonde finish with chrome hardware!
This 2004 model (serial number 0632804-E087 is in fantastic shape, with only minor play and fret wear. The original owner has added a Shubb 5th string capo.
The blonde finish on this instrument really makes the maple on this instrument pop, especially on the neck and back of the pop-off resonator.
Original case included.
