Legend Guitar Company MJSV-607 QM Cutaway Acoustic Electric 2001 Natural Quilted Maple
$1,699.99No sales tax for customers outside California.
Here's another exquisite Legend acoustic guitar from 2001, a fingerstyle player's delight with a 1.75" nut and some amazing woods.
These guys were building some amazing guitars. It is surprising that they seem to have totally evaporated.
This particular guitar has nice balance and definition, thanks to the wood selection and body design. Upper fret access is unparalleled. This will be someone's perfect performance guitar.
The guitar is in near mint condition with just a little pick swirl on the pickguard and some very light fret wear to show that it has been played.
The only change from original is the battery lead for the pickup system. The terminals had broken off, so I spliced on a new connector, solidly soldering the wires and protecting them with shrink tubing.
Hardshell case included.
Some background on the manufacturer:
"The Legend Guitar Company was formed in the latter days of 1998 by master luthiers Jeff Sigurdson, Michael Soper, and Jesse Brace with the able assistance of business partner and renowned guitar broker, Robert Brown. Jeff, Michael, and Jesse bring nearly 40 years of combined experience in larger guitar shops to the design and building of their own handmade, high-end acoustic guitars. Their specific goal was to create vintage sounding instruments with the performance characteristics of more modern designs at a price that was within the reach of a much wider audience. The combination of silky fast action, deliciously balanced, highly resonant response, as well as classic yet functionally rich beauty, makes these limited production instruments simply irresistible.
The Legend team's first 13 guitars were named the Nina, after Jesse Brace's daughter. This rare initial group of instruments ranged from OM to Dreadnaught cutaway versions. All subsequent models bear the Legend name. Current models include several OMs, MJs and Dreadnoughts. With growing interest from larger instrument dealers, who soon recognized the price versus quality advantage of the Legend designs, the model lines have been expanded to include the increasingly popular cutaway version in each of the sizes. Also included are options for standard or slotted (classical style) head stocks and high quality electronics from Fishman and B-Band. Legend recently introduced its classical guitar line with the CLA-102, building on the reputation that Jeff Sigurdson has earned as the creator of some of the most sought after classical and flamenco style guitars in the Northwest"
