one of a kind electric oud for sale

Hi Everyone,

This is a one of a kind electric oud hand built by the amazing luthier, Chris Forshage (http://forshage.com/)

Built in 2005, it has 11 strings (5 courses & 1 drone). It also features an L.R. Baggs active piezo pickup. I have played it at shows as well as in the studio.

There are a couple of little scratches on the back of the instrument on the wooden plate that can be removed to access the electronics (see pic). They are 100% aesthetic and cant be seen from the front of the oud.

It's quite a stunning instrument and the craftsmanship is amazing. I have played other electric ouds and they pale in comparison to this beauty. Email me for a recording of it, or higher res pictures. Or if you are in Los Angeles, come by and play it.

I am asking $2000 for it.

Thanks for looking!
