Update: Got a great deal on a E8OM, so no longer looking to trade.
If you are looking to purchase, for EGF members I am looking to get $sold, if using PayPal buyer pays fees, and free shipping.
Thanks for looking!
Let me just say that I absolutely love this guitar, but I have a bad right shoulder and I can't play this for more than 30-45 min without being in discomfort, which isn't fun. This guitar sounds amazing with the TC Alpine top. I purchased this from the Acoustic Shoppe back in February and they were extremely helpful over the phone on picking this one out. I recently had this setup by Union Music in Worcester, MA and it plays fantastic.
I am looking to trade for an OM size or similar, would possibly be even open to the AC series as well, hoping the thinner bout will help.
I still have the box from February and all packing materials and will be packed up the same way it came.
Any more questions or if I missed anything, please let me know! Thanks for looking!

Hi there,
did comment already on the other thread how much I like some Bearclaw on a Top. If you were based closer to where the Tonewoods came from (the Top at least) :-) I would be seriously tempted.
Good luck!

Thanks, Mitch! Sorry we are across the pond from each other. But one of the reasons I was drawn to this guitar was the bearclaw, and even the guys at Acoustic Shoppe were commenting how gorgeous this top is.

sorry to hear about your shoulder pain, it is a bummer.
But let me tell you, I was playing exclusively a Dread the last years (still a beginner mind) and sometimes seated at home and practicing I thought that a smaller Guitar would be more comfy, indeed it is. I have had the E8OM for the last 2 years and it is great. of course, as a rhythm player that likes to bash out some chords every now and then, the dread is perfect, fortunately I am tall and the Body size isn't a huge problem.
But must say, for "bedroom" use in a flat were you can't get too loud, also kids and wife around :-) the OM or 000 as it is, is just great. I really got into it. It is plenty. at least for my singer songwriter approach. But I am still on the "hunt" for a nice Mahogany B&S Dread :-) You know how it is.....
Best of luck with your Sale / Trade!

I gotta say I love the bearclaw on that top and the mahogany's gorgeous -- and I can say from experience that the E6D-TC with an Alpine top is an excellent-sounding guitar. Sorry that your shoulder makes it an uncomfortable fit for you.

I agree with Tim -- if you'd been selling this guitar before I bought my own E6D-TC Alpine, I'd've gone for it just because of the distinctive bear claw on that top. I hope someone snaps this up; the E6D-TC Alpine is a fantastic-sounding guitar.

I saw this guitar on the FB page, I think. Beautiful top with the bearclaw, and the Alpine TC guitars are really special. Sorry to hear about the shoulder pain. GLWS and I hope you find something more comfortable.
