Hi Joe,
I saw the very nice scruggs you are offering for a friend for 2,85k and I wonder if you might be interested in a trade with a beautyful Ariel Carmeli Model 800-2. It's absolutely unique as Ariel stretched the complete design to 61,5 inches and believe me, he did an absolutely awesome job! Ivory buttcap, solid ivory joint + countless ivory inlays, fullsplice, lovely wood, even points, razor sharp veneers, flawless except a very minor ding in the finish slightly above buttcap. Two originla shafts, one 30,75 inches one shortened to 29. Ariel stated that he would build this configuration again not under 3,5K. If your're interested I could give more specs.
