California-based luthier Richard Prenkert has been building guitars since 1979. However he has been playing the guitar much longer, and still actively performs. His previous teachers include George Sakellariou, Philip Rosheger and Richard Stover. So his instruments are truly guitars built by for players by a player. Players of the Prenkert guitar include Carlos Barbosa-Lima, David Grimes, and Richard Stover.
This particular guitar is a very bold sounding, powerful instrument with very clear separation between voices and would make a great performing guitar. Of note, this guitar has a "pin bridge" - instead of using a traditional bone saddle, each string is sitting on an independent "pin", a technique seen at this time also in the guitars of John Gilbert and even Eric Sahlin. Although used, it is in excellent condition with no prior damage or repairs, only some minor wear in the finish.
