Bruce Sexauer Guitars, 2005 Sexauer JB-15 [OM]:
The Sexauer asymmetrical body design and fretting is a fabulous work of
art both aesthetically and practically. The body shape helps to create a
balanced voice that has powerful bass and lyrical trebles. Very light and responsive.  The
asymmetrical (fanned) fretting fits the natural splay of the human hand
and in this version, which utilizes the popular 24.9" and 25.4" scales,
you hardly feel any difference at all, except when you check the
intonation. The idea of fanned frets is improved intonation and more
balanced tension across the strings, shorter trebles, longer basses,
like many instruments in our world. This JB-15 is a cutaway OM shape and has a Jatoba (Brazilian Cherry) back and sides.  The builder says the top is Italian Spruce, but the retailer I bought it from says the top is European Spruce.  I tend to think its European, but it sounds great whichever it is.

This guitar purchased new would be over $12,000.  The one you will be getting is in near new condition.  There are some small pick dings on the top that are so small they wouldn't even show up in a picture. Here is Bruce Sexauer's pricing page for you to check the "new" price:  http://www.sexauerluthier.com/flatpop2.html

Bruce also has a history page of all his guitars.  On this particular guitar, he says he made it for himself but "couldn't hang on."  See the middle guitar in the table below.
