Used, 2007 Baranik JX As many of you know, round about 2007, Mike Baranik, like a few other select luthiers, fine tuned his build process. He is crafting very fine, world class intruments. This guitar is one of those newer, spectacular builds. It features African Blackwood back & sides. A clean, Italian Spruce top. Sharp cutaway. Top, back & side wooden purflings. Exciting accents of spalted maple, including the headstock, heelcap, and tail wedge. Pinless bridge, which appears to be African Blackwood. Black Violet chrome Gotoh tuning machines with snazzy Black & White Ebony buttons. Spotted, Black Palm bindings. Very cool ! Side sound port which enhances the player's sonic experience. The soundhole is bound. African Blackwood rosette with pearl accent ring. Clear pickguard. Custom fit Ameritage case with embossed logo.
