I love the sound and feel of Essences, but found that I cannot handle that 6th string - throws me for a loop!  I once had a beloved Essence 5 but I sold it, thinking that another string wold be so much cooler.  Sob.  My Essence 6 has a bird's eye maple top and has its hardshell case.  Both are in excellent condition.  Please contact me by email if interested (terry@uoregon.edu) and I'll send pics.

Here's a pic of my Ess-6.  Kroiky, isn't she a beauty!

Beautiful!  Very nice top.

That is a beautiful Essence.  I don't normally care for that body shape, but it really looks good with that top.  
 
I'll bet you get some interest pretty quickly on that bad boy.

Makes me wish I had an Essence 5 to trade you- I'd love to have another 6 in my arsenal!
 
Peace;)

I have an Orion V with Essence electronics I would trade.
