Wilborn “Inverted Lion”
As much as it pains me, I am offering up my Wilborn "Inverted" Lion. Why? Well, Ben is making an Arum for me (T14/Ziricote) and for various reasons, I would like to get down to three guitars (Doerr, Beneteau and the incoming Arum) plus a lower-priced one for travel. So, here we are.
The Lion is Ben’s waist-forward model that mostly closely resembles a 00 and is extremely versatile. As you will see, the body features an incredible set of birdseye maple (Ben doesn’t have any more of it) and the top is a Master grade set of Western Red Cedar.
Model: Lion
Body: Birdseye maple
Top: Mastergrade Western red cedar
Binding: Curly mahogany
Frets clear: 12
Nut width: 1 7/8
String spacing at saddle: 2 3/8
Radius: Compound 14-20”
Lower bout: 14.25
Body depth: 4.25
Tuners: Schaller Grandtune
Side soundport
I'll try to get some better photos up, but I've attached a few and here is a link to the build photos: https://photos.app.goo.gl/K2YrZF6Mnm3eQ5cCA
Even better, here is Ben's video sample:

The guitar is in as-new condition (I only play fingerstyle) and has been maintained in a cat-fee, smoke-free, properly humidified home.
If I didn’t want/need to reduce my number, I would definitely not be offering this for sale, so please no trade offers.
New this guitar would be $6,500 + shipping. I'm offering this as-new for $4,900 shipped CONUS ground. I've sold dozens of ukes and guitars here, AGF and Reverb. I always offer a 3-day inspection period, so buy with confidence.
