Hello.  Up for auction is a 1970 Bozo Pondunavac 12 string acoustic gutiar.  This auction also includes a deluxe hardshell case and varirous documentation and letters authenticating this instrument.


We recently took this guitar in trade.  It is in very good condition with only minimal signs of normal play wear. It has been immaculately cared for by a collector client of ours over it's 40 year history.  Everything functions just as it should and there are no issues of any sort.  The case is also in excellent condition. 


This guitar is all original, but has a few repairs.  These were all done by a professional tech and are shown in the photos.  There are four cracks on the top that go from the bottom of the bridge to the bottom of the guitar.  These were all cleated and glued.  This guitar had a neck reset.  It's a clean job, though you can make out where the separation and finish touch up was done if you're really looking for it.  Apparently, when the neck was pulled for the reset, it caused two small cracks on the side next the the heel.  These were also cleated, glued, and finished.  Again, all of these repairs are totally pro and are common for an instrument of this age.


If you're looking at this auction, I'm sure you know Bozo's story.  He is world renowned for being one of the best boutique acoustic builders out there...especially his 12 strings.  There's a reason why Leo Kottke and others have played his guitars for so long.


We just had our tech set it up with Martin phosphor 13's and it plays like a dream with really nice low action.  The neck is a very comfortable profile and is super easy to get around on.  It's got excellent projection and is a real boomer.  This guitar is very well balanced and ultra responsive...it sounds absolutely amazing!  It has really opened up over the years and has a very balanced and mature sound.  I can't stress enough what a fine sounding instrument this is.  We're all agreed around the shop here that it's the best sounding 12 string any of us has encountered.


There are only a very few of these fine instruments in existence and I haven't seen another one available for sale in quite some time.  Bozo is 81 and has significantly slimmed down the number of instruments he's building.  He's also got a lengthy waiting list.  This is a great piece, sounds fantastic, is drop dead gorgeous, and is a sure fire investment.  This guitar is priced to sell and is a steal at our reserve.  Take advantage of a down market and don't miss this opprtunity to get your hands on such great instrument for so little.


I've got about 60 high resolution photos of this instrument and am more than happy to email any of them to you upon request.
