1983 Andy Manson Sandpiper Sunburst (Pre-owned)
Here we have a gorgeous handcrafted 000/OM-style acoustic guitar built by master luthier Andy Manson, one of the UK’s most respected luthiers, known for producing boutique instruments with exceptional tone and craftsmanship. Manson has been building guitars since the late 1960s and has a long lineage of custom work for professional musicians. His guitars are low-volume hand-built instruments, seldom appearing on the used market.
Overall, this instrument is in very good condition and has been well cared for throughout its life. There are some cosmetic signs of use consistent with a handmade guitar of this age, most notably a visible scratch to the soundboard along with a number of light surface marks and small scratches from regular playing.
