Najarian Electric E-2000 SOLD

NOTE: This oud has been sold. Thanks for looking!

I'm finally thinking of selling my Najarian electric oud. I do not want to deal with shipping, so this offering is limited to the San Francisco Bay Area (or those who are willing to travel here).

I drove down to southern California and bought it new from Viken in his garage in 2005. It comes with a beautiful hard-shell case. It's a lot of fun to play but I just haven't played it much in the last 3 or 4 years - so it is in practically new condition.

This is the E-2000 model with the face (not the empty frame E-1000). http://www.oud.net/electric.htm

Photos of mine are here:

(along with a fuzzed-out, wah-wah version of Aziza to give an idea of the possibilities...)

Note that mine has volume, treble, bass sliders rather than the volume knob shown on Viken's site. The variations in color in the middle photo of mine are from the lighting.

Thanks,
