this guitar from Gryphon @ 15k …. refinished in and out….
Thanks for your comment. However, this is not a sales site and I am only trying to record guitars that may be of interest to collectors and, sometimes, dealers.
I don’t comment on condition or price, except where a feature of the guitar is obviously wrong (tuners, bridge replacement, etc). I usually keep the ownership confidential unless the owner wants credit for the photos they have supplied.

Is this 00-45 still available for sale?
Sorry, this is not a sales site. It is only meant as a place to post interesting guitars for the enjoyment of all.
