-1991 Schoenburg Soloist
Item # RBJ-000
$5790.00

Formerly owned and extensively used by Rory Block, made for her by Schoenberg Guitars and C.F. Martin out of Indian rosewood, Sitka spruce, 1 11/16" nut width and Fishman pick-up. Rory has performed and recorded with this guitar extensively from 1991 till she switched to her endorsement with Martin, and it can be seen with her in many promotional photos and album covers. As a result of its long life on the road it has sustained some damage to the top above the soundhole, with repairs by Schoenberg Guitars co-owner at the time, T.J. Thompson. It is now very solid, plays great and sounds lovely. The Soloist model is based on the specs of the early Martin OM: 14-frets to the body, 000 size (15" width of lower bout), long scale (25 3/8"), 4" deep at endpin.
