Location: Flahdaw | I've been searching craigslist all over Florida lately looking for a good used guitar, and something I've noticed is that a lot of vintage Martin, Guild, and Gibsons are showing up....especially vintage pre-war Gibson archtops. Florida must be the hotbed of this stuff for some reason. Is anybody interested in these pieces, and do you want me to post them here when I see them? Here's an example...
1926 Gibson
or this... 1937 Gibson |

I'd love to check this out for any interested OFC member. JLMK! |

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | The '37 L-7 Gibson is pretty rare w/the art deco inlays...I owned a 46 years ago...this one looks to be in great condition...not a bad price... |

I recently listed both a Tak 45th and an EF75 that almost everyone who has played either say they compete with guitars 2-3 times their cost.
Unless you are looking for a pre-war holy grail.....in which case nevermind. |

all over Florida Stephen, I'm looking for an OM or GA cutaway with electronics that I can touch, feel, and play to see if I like it before I buy it. |

Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066 | Well, the EF75 is an OM and Beal has a couple (unless G8R) grabbed one of them you could try out. As far I can tell, they all sound and feel very very similar......great consistency.
Wouldn't surprise me if there wasn't one or two lurking around at the next GatorBowl in January. |
