🎼 Tone & Feel

This guitar blends🐾 the warmth of cedar 🐾 the clarity and grain of solid koa 🐾 the light resonance of Spanish cedar 🐾 the modern projection of an auditorium cutaway – The result is a lively, expressive instrument, highly responsive to touch, with an aesthetic that immediately catches the eye.

💠 Condition

Very good overall condition. Well maintained, properly humidified. Just one small lacquer dent on the upper part of the top (see photo), easily repairable by a luthier for under 100€.

💰 Why This Price

Solid Koa acoustics (Taylor, Martin, etc.) now range between 3,500 and 5,000€. This Weller offers premium woods, boutique aesthetics, and a unique hybrid construction for a fraction of that price. Note that a solid Koa guitar (moreover from Hawaï) has became almost impossible to find these days on the market. Consequently, the price of this guitar will continue to increase in the future.

📦 Shipping & Packaging

Flexible shipping depending on the item :
For larger or high‑value gear, I ship with premium carriers (UPS/FedEx/DHL). This ensures fast, fully insured and secure delivery.

The guitar will be packed with great care! It will travel in a fully protected hard case, itself placed into a bigger cardboard box fitted for guitar cases with additional padding to ensure maximum safety during transport.

Please note that I’ve already sold 5 guitars on Reverb over the past two years (including a flamenco classical from the same German luthier, an Ibanez Musician MC300, an Ibanez Prestige S5470, a Schecter PT Special Tele, and a Squier Jaguar 70s Vibe), so I’m very comfortable with the process.
