You are very lucky , what a bargain.
Now that's the guitar I fancied the Jazz one .
It wasn't in the store but it's a more expensive model so dread to think what the price is .
You gave me something to tbink about .
High fret access is important to me .
At the moment I am learning on my Gibson J35 acoustic.
Not only is the sound all wrong for Jazz I am so frustrated trying to get to the 17th fret .
I missed out on very well priced 2nd hand Gibson 339.
Just need to be patient.
A2nd hand Heritage would be good too !

That is useful
What I really liked about the Kingpin was that it is so lightweight.
I didn't realise that the HB version was heavier.

What a great price!
I will keep searching.
New guitars come up daily.
The Monarch was semi hollow came up last week but went straight away .
Maybe I will get lucky !

As far as Godins, I am a big fan—have owned 2 5th Avenues—but $2000 is way too much for this model. Some of the fancier Premieres might be worth that.

Good morning Dr Jeff.
Thank you for your reply.
They don't actually sell Peerless in Israel.
I don't know from where the 2nd hand one came from .
Though the seller is Russian so I expect from there.
Love the sound
especially acoustically.
The Sunset looks great.
I will just keep looking at the 2nd hand page .
A more reasonably priced Godin might come up .
I saw a guitar from Duesenberg that looks interesting and also fancy Heritage .
If something comes up 2nd hand .
A bit pricey for my first jazz guitar .

I could part with mine - absolutely flawless Cognacburst - but have no clue about shipping conditions (a complete mess due to the pandemic) or rates.

Not sure whether that's a model that's interesting for you, but it's located in Israel, and the seller has had it listed for a looong time, so he might be open to lower offers (I stumbled across that one when I was looking for used Eastmans outside the US).

If only I still lived in Denmark ..closer to you !
The tax is so high and shipping so problematic during these times ?
Thank you though .

Have you played one? They are all cherry construction. I don't know of any other guitar maker that use cherry top, back and sides. They have a particular sound as a result IMO. I would try one first before paying a premium price. Not saying it's bad but different.

I played one very briefly unplugged.
I would need another visit to the shop to try again before committing myself .
Out of the guitars I have tried so far it was just the most comfortable..though I liked the sounds of Ephiphone Broadway.
