1 off RIBBECKE Master Series Halfling which was a collaberation between Tom Ribbecke (who HIMSELF constructed this) and Larry Robinson who did the custom Marvin-the-Martian inlay.  This isn’t a standard handling because Tom himself constructed it.

The neck is birdseye maple.  The weight is just 6lb-13oz.  It is a complete 1-off.  The tone is organic, smooth and rich like the Sakashta Guitar I once owned.   The body is Cherry and the top Cedar.

This guitar was most recently at another dealer (GearPlace)…I traded for it….and BOY are you lucky you’re getting it from me rather than them.  FIRST OFF apparently their definition of MINT is ‘not exactly’ true…I mean it WAS ONCE mint…but mint now?….not exactly.  I go through my instruments and outline what is wrong with them.  This is not beat up….it has 3 “o” sized surface dings and some very light almost unseeable contact brush.   The most notable difference is that the guitar HAD been advertised wtih “TOM HOLMES PICKUPS”….maybe they drove by a set on their way to my store…but when I checked they were (as the guitar left the factory) custom Duncans.   I contacted said dealer (GearPlace…who advertises on Reverb & Gbase) and was told “TOO BAD ..it was that way when I got it”…..ok!…awesome!

SO, not only do I have this for THOUSANDS less than they did…you will actually get what it IS not what it drove past.  That’s why people deal with me.  Accurate representations and honorable if something goes wrong…..you have been educated….I rest now.
