2013 Fairbanks F30 Roy Smeck Sunburst

If its good enough for “The wizard of strings” its good enough for me! Up for grabs a 2013 Fairbanks F30 Roy Smeck. Dale Fairbanks is an extremely talented luthier who runs a one man shop in Connecticut. His builds are inspired by classic 20s-40s vintage acoustics. It comes as no surprise that he decided to try his hand at the highly coveted Roy Smeck model. The original Gibson models are extremely rare and would cost you at least twice as much. In a competition this 7 year old Fairbanks would give a vintage one a run for its money! Amazing big bright sound. Great bass response. Very well balanced tone with beautiful warm presences.

Specs! This guitar is all original with the exception of a K&K pure mini pick up being installed! Nickel vintage style three to a side tuners. Ebony headstock with pearl logo inlay. Bone nut measures 1 & 3/4″. The neck is made of mahogany. The depth measures .93″ at the 1st fret and 1.25″ at the 12th. The fingerboard is is made of rosewood with a radius of 12″. It has a 24.75″ scale length. 19 medium frets in good condition. The top is made of spruce with mahogany back and sides. Rosewood bridge with a bone saddle. Truly gorgeous vintage sunburst. Comes with a semi hard case.

Fairbanks is proof that fine craftsman ship is not dead! The quality speaks for its self. Once you sit down with this guitar it will only take a few minutes before your swept away. It is an extremely flexible instrument capable of covering a wide range of styles. This amazing sounding guitar will only continue to get better and better. Whoever’s lucky enough to score this F30 is in for a life time of fun and beautiful music!
