VERY NICE STAGG MODEL SW201BK-VT

GLOSS BLACK, SINGLE-CUTAWAY DREADNAUGHT

6-STRING ACOUSTIC-ELECTRIC GUITAR

****  LOW STARTING BID ****

I am selling several guitars that have been favorites in my personal collection.  I hate doing this, because I love these instruments...these are my babies.

One such guitar is this Stagg Electric-Acoustic Black beauty.  I've enjoyed so much owning it.

As can be seen in the photos, this solid 41-inch acoustic-electric guitar is designed with the classic dreadnought deep body shape for a rich full sound and excellent projection, and a single cut-away bottom. The guitar has a maple neck with a dark-stained maple ovalled bound fingerboard (with side markers) for easy playing and a smooth feel, and pearlized dot position markers (see first photo).  The compensated bridge is also stained maple.  The top (soundboard), sides, and back are basswood--contributing to its excellent projection. The action (distance from the strings to the frets) is very low making this guitar extremely easy to play with little effort.  The maple bridge maximizes the instrument's bass response and further enhances its projection. Chrome closed tuning gears insure accurate and stable tuning.  The high-gloss black finish looks great with it's white binding (edge trim) around the body and up the fretboard.  The under-saddle passive pickup (no batteries required) features SN-II controls with volume and tone controls.

This guitar is beautifully made and sweet-sounding; rich highs and deep lows in tone quality--whether using an amplifier or simply playing acoustic!  It has pleasing sound you would expect from a much more expensive guitar, which is why I originally purchased it (and originally intended to keep it). If you are looking for a nice guitar that has great sound and the versatility to sound magnificent whether amplified or not, you've found it here.

The guitar has great low action--it has been adjusted low to make it easy to play.  The strings are about 1/32 above the frets at the 1st fret and about 1/8" at the 12th fret. There are no cracks or any other structural issues--the guitar is kept in a climate controlled (temperature and humidity) area--as is recommended for guitars to maintain their integrity.  There is one minor surface scratch.  I've tried to capture it in the photos and believe that I've done a pretty good job of doing so. There are other small scuff areas so small that I'm unable to get them to show in the photos.  The finish overall is very glossy and pretty--and the pickguard is in good condition--with very minor surface "strum-scuff" which is normal for a used guitar (I've tried to show this in the photo) .  The rosette (soundhole trim) is tastefully done so it just complements the overall good looks of this guitar.  The neck is straight and solidly attached with no issues.  The minor flaws described are all that I have found wrong with this instrument, and until I get my Martin out of layaway it has been one of my favorite acoustic-electric guitars to play (I also have a 12-string acoustic-electric not for sale)--mainly due to ease of play and sound quality, and the ability to amplify if desired.

I have to sell this guitar, as well as many of the others in my personal collection, to pay for a Martin guitar that I recently put in layaway.
