Elferink Jesse Van Ruller

[salmonlust]

Hello everybody! Not a very active poster but have been an on and off lurker for many years!
Due to some happy news, a baby on the way, I unfortunately have to thin the heard.

I've had this Elferink for almost 7 years now and it's brought me a lot of joy but has seen less and less use over the years as I've moved away from actively practicing jazz guitar. But Frans is a real craftsman and every inch of this guitar is beautiful and the guitar feels alive and has really opened up since I got it first.

The basic specs can be found here: Jesse van Ruller - Elferink Guitars

But I will list whats "special" about my guitar.

Top: Bearclaw spruce
Width at Nut: this is approx 43.75mm so right between 1 ¾” and 1 11/16” nut width.
Pickup: Pete Biltoft floating Charlie Christian with "hidden" vol and tone under the pickguard
Tuners: Schertler open gear tuners with ebony buttons
Then it has my initials on the headstock

The only issues I see are a small nick on the back of the headstock and some small marks on the back (pictured) that look like are from a guitar stand.

I'm looking for $4100 or 3450 euros + shipping and PP fees
Willing to ship worldwide but located in Iceland so shipping will not be cheap so I'm willing to split the shipping cost to get it into good hands.



Feel free to send me a message or just comment here if you need any additional information or more/better images of anything specific.

Finally in my hands! This guitar is almost perfect.
Now I just have to find a way to do it justice.

Does that come in a Calton case?
And I think 15% tariff to US on top? I wonder what other duties?
Anyone know?

Comes in a Hiscox case.
Not sure about the tariffs - something to ponder for american suitors.

I have an Elferink Tone Master for the past 10 years. Wonderfully made Archtops at a very reasonable price!

Hi Antonio - unfortunately this is mostly a space issue so I'm not looking for trades at the moment.

Thank you so much! I'll pop it on the scale later today when I get home from work
