Used 2023 Froggy Bottom Model F Deluxe Rosewood

Pure Acoustic Joy

I will never forget the first time I played a Froggy Bottom guitar. It was my first week at Wildwood, and I was settling into my role as the shop’s copywriter and resident sonic evaluator. One morning, our acoustic guitar specialist Brian asked me if I was into acoustic guitars. “They’re my favorite thing to nerd out about,” I replied. He replied that he had a special treat for me, popped open a case, and presented me with the most gorgeous parlor guitar I’d ever seen. “It’s a Froggy Bottom,” he said, smiling expectantly. I played a couple chords and completely lost my grasp of the English language as well as most of my motor functions.

“I…what…this guitar is…how…how…how is this guitar?” I sputtered as my brain short-circuited. Brian grinned and shrugged his shoulders, palms upturned. “That’s just what Froggy Bottom does.”

I was transfixed, so I had no choice but to take this beautiful parlor guitar—I believe it had an Adirondack spruce top and koa back and sides—for a test drive. Ten minutes turned to twenty, then thirty, and then I started feeling guilty. This wasn’t working, was it? So, with much pain in my heart, I put my new favorite guitar back in its case. I spent almost an hour writing a six hundred-word essay about what a magical experience I had exploring its fretboard. Anything less seemed like an insult to the artistry of the build. It may have been overkill, but surely I wouldn’t have to do that for every Froggy Bottom guitar. They couldn’t all be that good, could they?

I am happy to report that I was completely wrong. Over the last two years, I’ve had the privilege of playing dozens of Froggy Bottoms, and each and every one of them was just as jaw-dropping as that first serial.

Condition Report

This fabulous Froggy is in fantastic shape! It shows extremely light signs of normal use, and it has only a couple of small cosmetic imperfections: some tiny areas with checking on either side of the bridge. It comes with its original Cedar Creek hardshell case, too!
