2008 Gadotti Steel String King Model with Maple Top / Cocobolo Back

An incredibly beautiful guitar that plays like nothing you have played before. Gadotti is a master guitar builder in Brazil. Guitar weighs about 7.5 lbs and the construction is just exquisite! No stains used on the wood but rather is all natural with tung oil finish. Pickup system is an LR Baggs Element Active saddle. For a light body guitar, these are surprisingly loud acoustically as well! Comes in original case!

no.

 

[Guitar Heel]

That's interesting. I'd give it a try.

 

[Lerxst]

Meh

 

[DFB]

That is unfortunate.
$2.5k for half a guitar?

 

[12Pack]

At first it looked as if it was a put together kit made of balsa wood - like for little kids.

 

[Chad]

I was into it until I saw the hole going all the way through. I'd still give it a try to see how it plays and sounds.

 

[jelloman]

I'm strangely attracted to it...

 

[Peen Simmons]

Weird.

 

[Knox in Box]

I'd like for someone else to have one. I might say "oh wow", but I'm not interested myself.

 

[VoidTerraFirma]

Distinctive. I'll allow it.

 

[wok]

I quite like it.


Needs Floyd though

 

[Deep Eddy]

Would fit nicely in Picasso's Three Musicians.

I like it. Would never buy it, but it looks pretty cool.

 

[sunvalleylaw]

I just don't like Kitchen Island/Butcher Block looking guitars.

 

[wagdog]

Hideous.

 

[Modern Saint]

Strange.....

Would try just to find out more about it.

 

[ellengtrgrl]

It sounds IMO pretty much like most solidbody acoustics - spiky with little warmth. I'll pass.

 

[Gorgon90]

Quite like that. I'd give it a go.

 

[CBHScott]

What a terrible thing to do to some beautiful wood :(.

At this point, may as well go all the way and load it with cherry bombs from both holes, then light the fuse and run.

It looks different, but not bad. I’d give it a spin.
