Hello. I have a cheap sirian oud and I´d like to buy a better one, but I do not have much money. Perhaps someone would like to exchange an 8 strings
guitar with an oud?
I have this unique guitar made by luthier J.A.Sabaté:

Can you give us a little more information on this guitar?
Is this steel strings? It seems to have an unusual bridge assembly.

Yes, Lee, this is an acoustic guitar with steel strings. It was designed by luthier Joan Antonio Sabaté in Barcelona, around 1980. Although he is a
specialist on classical and flamenco guitars, he made this special 8 string acoustic guitar at my request. I have used it also with nylon strings for
a while, but the distance between strings is the habitual on acoustics.
The body of the instrument is built on mahogany, the sound board is cedar wood and fingerboard, bridge and the tailpiece are ebony. The neck is
reinforced by a piece of ebony in T. The bridge has individual pieces of plastic to adjust the length of each string.
It is difficult to know the price of this guitar because it is a unique prototype. I am trying to sell it for about 2000€, but I would exchange it
with pleasure by an oud costing not less than $1000.
Greetings!
