I know this isn't the typical fare for this forum, but I have been impressed so far with the decency of the people that inhabit it, so in an effort to circumvent the evil Reverb, I will post this here. Price here is $2,100 plus actual shipping costs within the CONUS, which is a discount off the price I'm asking on Reverb.
I am only selling this instrument because I purchased another Gibson Custom Shop small body guitar, and if I want to keep my marriage, this one and another must go…my dear wife is not a woman to be trifled with!
The guitar boasts an Adirondack spruce top, sourced from individually harvested trees, and sustainably grown East Indian rosewood for its back and sides. This guitar may have a small body, but sonically it is a cannon…an absolutely top shelf guitar. I couldn’t believe the sound coming from this small body when I got it.
Additionally, it comes equipped with a workshop-installed K&K Pure Mini pickup, which ensures your sound is faithfully reproduced without the hassle of stage feedback. It comes with the OHSC for protection.

One of the brass “feet” on the bottom of the case is missing see pic) – probably fixable with a trip to Hobby Lobby. It was this way when I bought it. (I am the second owner).
Bedell serial numbers list out the month, year, and then number of guitar in that month. This guitar was started in February of 2015, was the 22nd guitar started that month. However, the instrument was finished 6/12/2015 since it takes a bit of time to build it.
This guitar ships fully insured with signature required.











Sorry for the sideways photos - I don't know why that happens to me. Just lucky I guess. 
I am in Charlotte, NC, if that makes a difference to anyone for a personal showing or shipping considerations.

I have to ask,what is evil about Reverb?It's probably one of the safest sites to buy from.

Reverb is OK for buying; for selling I'm not a fan.
They were better pre-Etsy. Now I believe they've sold again to another venture capital group.

A very special NGD: a custom build that brought my ideas to life.
