All acoustic brands struggle to find the balance between high value and high quality. For Austin, finding that perfect in-between has been made possible through careful attention to detail. The result is a range of quality acoustic guitars ranging from open pore satin finished models to gloss models.
They are made from seasoned spruce and mahogany. Every component of the AA25 has been considered for its sound and quality. It’s gloss top gives a high end look and a snappy top end. Scalloped bracing rounds out the tone with a big, round low end.
This particular guitar has some character……

This is a factory authorized refurbished guitar. It was inspected and determined to have only one issue…a finish flaw. See pictures, and the explanation below for details.
Refurbished Instruments
In addition to recovering, rebuilding, and refurbishing intermediate priced guitars and folk instruments from the last 30 years, we also sell factory authorized refurbished instruments, sourced through one of the largest instrument recyclers in the US. These are a great deal for anyone that wants a quality like new instrument with a limited budget. You don’t get an equivalent you get an original. These guitars tend to be 1-5 years old….
These are professionally refurbished instruments. They mostly come from the factory, or from large dealers. Some instruments have flaws, like a paint glitch, while some need simple repairs, not visible, like repairing a lifting bridge or fretboard. Some have a repair that is visible but makes the instrument good again, like an acoustic with a cracked soundboard that needs repaired. Sometimes it gets rejected because the color is not quite right, or it was sold with accessories, and the factory ran out of the accessories.
Unlike a new instrument, or typical used one, this instrument was completely checked out, and tested by factory authorized skilled Instrument Technicians (Luthiers). After it was inspected at the refurbisher by experts, then repaired and/or verified as “like new”, it was distributed to dealers like me, to get to smart customers like you. You get a great, as-new instrument, at a great price, less than discounted new! Why buy a cheaper knock-off when you can have a Genuine Austin for the same investment.
If there is any visible repair or flaw on any instrument we sell, we note it here.
This instrument has finish flaws, on the top, as seen in the pictures, probably the result of high humidity. It was not deemed fit for the new market and was sent to the refurbisher. It works and sounds great….but it has a flaw.
By law, since it was handled after it was released, the instrument is marked as “Used” by the Refurbisher with a light stamp on the headstock, and assigned a new sticker serial number.
I offer my instruments at a fair price, but open the option for a best offer. I always reject lowball offers, but always consider honest ones. Try it; I may be in a good mood today!
