Here we have a delightful Fairbanks in the shop. I had one a few years ago, and it's so good to experience another of Dale's guitars. This guitar channels the soul of a vintage Gibson (doing it better, in my own humble opinion), so it has that tone that manages to be bright and mellow at the same time, as well as dry, but warm and glowing. It's a real joy to flat pick, but it's also very responsive to finger style. Just a really nice instrument all around, and plays fantastic. Comes with Harptone case.

Cosmetically, this guitar is in very good condition, with minor signs of handling. There's also a ding / rough area next to the nut on the neck, treble side, pictured.
