2013 Palen #92 Honey Blonde, Brand New, Original Hard, Call For Price!
S O L D +New Beautiful Palen 17" Archtop in , with full warranty. This stunning instrument has the deep, punchy tone and clarity that Palen's instruments are known for. This has a medium D-shaped neck with a beautiful Ebony fingerboard. Sitka Spruce with master grade Maple back & sides. This is one of the last archtops made by Nelson Palen. I selfishly put it aside for myself because this one is extra special, but I already have 2 Acoustic Palen archtops and 2 Palen Performers, and now am making this one available. The neck is perfectly straight on the treble side with the slightest relief on the bass side allowing us to set the action at 2 1/2 64ths on the high E at the 12th fret and 3 1/2 64ths at the low E at the 12th fret. This one is a dream to play and stunning to look at with the perfectly book matched carved Flamed maple back, and a very fine grained carved spruce top that also appears to be flamed when you look very closely.
