Cleaned up/refurbished one. Looks like a pretty good intermediate option between a Phred and and a full-on luthier build, somewhat on par with the Eastwood.

That's a deal. Troy is a good builder.

I want to message him and see if he could build me that same guitar, but with the nice inlays on the FB. Id love to have one of his builds.

Does he even still build? Been several years since heard anything about him other than listings for older builds.

I ended up getting this and wow! Thank you, OP for this post!

I couldn't pass up the opportunity to take a test drive with a full on Garcia build with OBEL and proper Tiger electronics at that price. I'm very glad I did!

It's certainly more bare bones than other Garcia build without the inlays and exotic woods, but tone reigns supreme and it sounds killer. Not just as a "Garica guitar" but really any guitar. Lots of great tones held within it I've only just scratched the surface of at this point.

It was completely refurbished by Will at Tone Chaser. He works closely with Waldo when he builds out something and plays it himself for a few weeks after to make sure all is good.

Can't wait to discover more about it! Definitely keep an eye out for his stuff in the future.

Woo hoo! Grate to see it went to someone here on rukind.

Congrats on the new guitar
