1990 Keller 6 String Jumbo - Acoustic Guitar
Michael Keller is one of the most experienced, and in our opinion, talented luthiers on the planet. He is great friends with James Olson, both living in the same area. This is rare gem from 1990 that has been virtually unplayed for 20 years. As if in a time capsule it's a perfect example of Michael Keller's early work, it's historic really. Indian Rosewood and Sitka, this is a large body guitar with a big, warm voice. It has lovely top end and a big bottom as well. It's versatile and can easily move from strumming to fingerpicking or live in either world. If you are a Keller fan or just a fan of great guitars, this is a rare find.

Player Reviews:
"I'm a huge Michael Keller fan and this is a real treat. As if from a time capsule, this one is like new since it was purchased but never played. This is a wonderful piece of Keller history but more importantly a great guitar. The Jumbo shape gives it a big voice that is happy played hard with a pick but even played softly with fingers you get a big sound. There a pickup installed already as well. " - Paul Heumiller
"I love this guitar. I thought it was brand new when I played it. It's in perfect condition and the tone is just what you'd expect from a Keller guitar - rich and clear. The jumbo size makes the bass come through, but it's not muddy or overpowering. It feels just right." - Al Petteway
