Woodtone Barry Kerr WTS 000 'Redwood / Blackwood' Preowned 1993

Barry Kerr has been building acoustic guitars since 1984. Over the last 3 decades, he has refined many of the traditional construction methods to produce an instrument that is beautiful and durable with great tone and volume. Specialising in smaller-sized guitars, his forward-thinking designs have yielded some phenomenal-sounding guitars, built right in our backyard. Sadly Barry no longer takes commissions for his work, making this guitar all the more special.

This 1993 custom-built 000 model is a fabulous early example of Kerr's craftsmanship and attention to detail. Featuring a gorgeous tightly-grained Redwood soundboard and beautuful figured Australian Blackwood back, sides and neck, it has a rich and earthy tone, with plenty of natural compression and sparkling harmonics. Other premium features include a Gidgee fretboard, traditional lacquer finish and rope purfling. It's in fantastic condition for it's age, with some light playwear and light patina to the hardware, and it plays wonderfully with a slinky buzz-free action.  A wonderful Australian-made small body guitar with high-end timbers and a wonderfully unique tone. Includes hardshell case.
