Michael Kelly Dragonfly No. 1

I made this baritone from a quilted maple Michael Kelly Dragonfly model QAB2-QAM. It has some signs of wear and a ding by the end pin and some finish cracks on the back toward the end pin that I have repaired. There are no obvious flaws. It had a Fishman electronics package that I have upgraded to an Artec MT-TBL Triphonic blender that has a piezo pickup, a magnetic pickup, and a condenser microphone inside the guitar. The range of sounds is incredible and this is by far the best electronics package I have used to date and I may offer it in future guitars. At the moment it has black tapewound strings for the 5^th and 6^th string - I can replace these with wound strings at buyer request. I finished the guitar with gold hardware and a sound port. This model is hard enough to find and expensive enough that this may be the only one I make. I am selling it on eBay for $699 without a case. As of this writing I do have a hard case available for an additional $75.Sold - Thanks Chris!
