Freshly inspected and set up in-house by our esteemed Guitar Tech. In Excellent condition with very modest wear including faint scratches and other minor signs of normal handling and use.
This is a gorgeous custom instrument made by well-regarded Australian guitar maker Richard Wilson who specializes in Weissenborn style guitars. Ben Harper has called Wilson’s work “one of the most exciting and dynamic hollow‑neck acoustic guitars out there today,” emphasizing that they are true to classic Weissenborn construction but with Wilson’s own touch. See below for more details and specifications.
FROM RICHARD WILSON:
The Style 4 features stunning detail from head to tail. The most elegantly appointed of our Weissenborn guitars, the Style 4 is crafted to be loved for generations.
Starting with tonewoods we reserve only for our finest instruments, the Style 4 is an impeccably crafted instrument – and then comes the trim. More than 1000 individual sections of wood make up the incredible rope binding that features throughout the Style 4. It projects tone from its deep, rich bass to the stunning, complex overtones of its mids and highs.
The iconic rope binding is featured on the top edge, headstock, back edge, fretboard and in the soundhole rosette. Featuring our unique balanced bracing pattern. Each Style 4 is individually voiced by Richard Wilson to bring out a full, rich Weissenborn tone with endless warmth, sustain and projection.

NOTE TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS:
We want you to be happy with your purchase and we try to represent the condition of all used and vintage guitars as accurately as possible in our listings. Every used guitar shows some signs of play wear and vintage models even more so. We call out all areas of damage or unusual wear, and describe the overall condition based upon what is "normal" for the age of the instrument. Expect to see minor dings, finish checking, or other evidence of normal use and aging which may not be captured by photography or explicitly mentioned in the listing.
We recognize that everyone has their own personal standard of what constitutes acceptable wear and tear. If play wear is especially critical for you, please contact us to ask any questions you may have. Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
