REVERSE TENSION GUITAR - ModelSJ-430C Burst!!!If you are not familiar with Reverse Tension Guitars you are missing out. This is a beautiful guitar featuring real tone woods and a patented system that uses an enhanced bridge system to take tension off the bridge. As result, they use a thinner, and more resonant top for better response and tone. Each guitar is individually set up by the designer of the guitar and owner of the company before it leaves his shop. Ebony fretboard and bridge, solid spruce top, cream-colored binding, rounded comfort edge, internal electronics with 1/4-inch and balanced outputs. Please see the website for more specifics. I bought this guitar new about five years ago and it's never been out of the house. Only simple play wear. The pictures make it look kind of red but it is actually a beautiful brown burst finish. Brand new this guitar sells for $1,199 and it is a steal at that price. Hate to sell her, but down on my luck right now. Comes with the well-padded gig case shown with "Reverse Tension Guitar" embroidered on the pouch. Go to rtguitar.com for information on the bridge system.
