Location: Tidal Mudflats of Virginia | Since the AD1 seems out of most's reach, I've decided to offer up a couple others that have been hiding in their cases as of late...
I have a gorgeously clean K-1121 Tornado with the hard to find bridge cover and an aftermarket hard case. Also includes a Bigsby B11 tremelo but has the original trapeze is installed right now.
Price is $650 OBO plus actual shipping & insurance. I managed to pry this from Dave's (Tupperware) collection back about 5 years ago.
The other I got in a trade from Edensharvest a couple years back. Beautiful K-1162 Hurricane with late-period new NOS electronics that Eden got from Dave as well. Label reads Tornado, however the serial numbers match on both neck & body as being a Hurricane. This has the original hard case and I have a blank pickguard included, should you opt to remount although I think it looks better off.
Price is $650 OBO plus actual shipping & insurance.

Location: Tidal Mudflats of Virginia | The neck on the Hurricane is the 1 11/16" version for those asking. Currently have .009's on it and plays like silk. Has a very Rickenbacker sound...think early Tom Petty.
There are so more pictures over on the nig side of the house.

Location: Oklahoma | Tim, the Ladies have arrived and they are STUNNING! The pictures you posted did not come close to doing them justice! They are gorgeous! The Tornado sounds as good as it looks. Haven't even fired up the Hurricane yet, cause I can't quit playing the Tornado!
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!
xnoel, you can visit them any time your up in the NE part of Okieland! |

Location: Texas | Congrats, pjones, That's a beautiful pair of Storm Sisters. Both of those models are getting difficult to find in decent condition these days, and even if you do find one in excellent condition like those, you wouldn't get them at the low prices Tim was asking. IMO, you got a Black Friday BOGO deal!
Very cool, have fun! |

Glad you like them and I appreciate the extra kindness. Couldn't justify keeping them as case queens and hope they find lots of playing in your home.
