This is a very sensible way to buy one of these highly prized hand crafted acoustics, considered as one of the worlds best acoustics. Hand made in Ireland these are a choice of many pro players. This one is a F12 model made back in 2002 and is in a nice condition with very slight belt rub on the back, shown in the close up photo. The wood has aged and opened up and it sounds incredible. This one will save a very long time for the built, and it is £1,000 under the new price. This one has a Hiscoz hard case included in the sale.
