Here for sale we have an Ashbury Irish Bouzouki in Gloss Natural finish. Made in China, this instrument features Maple back and sides, Spruce top, Mahogany neck and 23 fret Ovangkol fingerboard. This Bouzouki has been fitted with a Schatten BM-1 undersaddle piezo pickup and jack plug assembly, meaning that it can be amplified for use in a live setting.
The Mahogany neck plays well, feeling slender and fluid in the hand thanks to its narrow 'U' shaped profile, as well as the gloss finish to the rear. The Ovangkol fingerboard adds a touch of luxury, feeling premium under the fingers and providing a comfortable playing surface. The body sits well in the lap ensuring comfort when playing for extended periods.
The Maple back and sides provide a clear, open and bright tone, with an unpronounced yet well defined low end, crisp and clear midrange and glistening, bell-like high frequencies. The Spruce top helps the instrument to project well, with a wide dynamic range that feels sensitive to the player's touch. The addition of an undersaddle pickup on this particular instrument provides versatility for recording and live situations.

Please be aware that for international buyers import fees are not included in our postage and packaging cost, this only covers the cost of the guitar being sent to you.

We advise checking the total import cost with Customs as this is not information we are able to accurately provide.
