F/S F/T OLINTO J5 jazz style by Labella £4000 ITALY

[foya]

I might consider a trade, or exchange, for a different instruments 

This Olinto is a sensational instrument, maybe the best passive jazz 5 I've ever tried.. a very woody and organic voice.. it doesn't sound like the typical maple fretboard instrument.. it sounds very 60's.. it even has a sound that seems older than my 66 jazz!!

As for the characteristics of the instrument:

Olinto J5, Production year 2023
body: alder
maple neck,
birdseye maple fingerboard,
custom Mas Hino hand wound pickups
34" scale
Carbonetti Sunburst nitro finish
hipshot hardware
weight around 4kg
original hard case
available a spare white perloid pickguard

 

Other pics and samples available on request

price for a new one, around 5200$ plus shipping, plus taxes

I set a trade value of 4800€, open to discuss depending on the offers

no issues on the bass.. really near mint conditions

Hi Foya,

 

The ACG for the Olinto maybe ? I think they’re worth about the same. The ACG Über Recurve is a véry good 6string fretless. Bit “Wal-ish” though also different in many ways ( Having owned about 6 Wal’s years ago)  Easy playability for a 6er, maybe because of the neck profile (asymetric). When you’re interested maybe we could work something out. I live in the Netherlands. If you’re interested I can give a lot of info and pics of course 🙂 

 

Best, Nels Busch
