| Excuse me I'm new
This is probably a silly question when asked of the experts in this group, but could somebody please identify the following model,.... 1617.
I have dated the guitar to 1982, the number being 255831. If I am incorrect perhaps I could be set straight.
This guitar has got a great action and is really good to play. The tone is excellent, although the electrics have packed up.
The top has sustained a couple of serious knocks, and would probably require a pro repair.
Tell me, why do dealers and retailers turn their noses up at this guitar and offer stupid deals when I suggest p/ex. Is there no "previously owned" market for these innovative instruments??
Look forward to reading some replies. | |

Location: 6 String Ranch | endpin, it's an electric legend, a great guitar. The reason those dealers get all snotty about them is that they have their heads firmly stuck up their own endpins, JACK!
electrics can be fixed, top dents can be repaired and you'll have a great guitar. SO....???
Next question..?
Oh and welcome to the clunb #700, go back and fill in the space where you're from (or would like to be from) mucho garcias!

You came to the right place and it sounds like you have a good guitar. As to why the dealers and retailers give you some BS, you will find that today's music stores don't always know what they are doing. If you have the time, browse through some of the old postings and get a feel for our opinion of today's music stores.
