David Russell Young was a renowned luthier of the 70s with one of his builds recently listing for over $100,000 on Heritage Auctions. This example has a beautiful cedar top with Indian rosewood back and sides. It has some delamination and notable player and strum wear - evidence of a great sounding instrument! Our repair team recently performed a refret, so it's playing great as well. There is a large maple cleat underneath the top treble corner of the sound hole to address two large cracks as well. 

Incudes large coffin-style hard case.
*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
