Location: Steeler Nation, Hudson Valley Contingent | I never, repeat, NEVER planned on moving these! PERIOD!
But the Power That Is in my house has cut me loose to chase after something pretty special, and I'm going to run with it while I've got the chance. I admit my pricing for these is on the high end of the used market, but bear in mind that I've done whatever was necessary to put them in TOP shape because they were mine...my preciousses....(Sorry Golum.) All prices include shipping and insurance in the continental U.S. I'm willing to take payments, but I'm hoping for a Fancy Guitar Christmas, if you get my drift. I've put a few pics below, but you will also find links to my ning albums for each instrument.
Annddd.......
Away we go!
This is listed elsewhere, but I'll remind everyone again. My pristine Country Artist LX is available for $1100 OBO. Here's the ad for it:
6773-LX
Next up?
My spotless Custom Legend 1659 12-string. This was built in 1983 and looks like new. It's already been to the factory for its 30-year check-up where they basically just had to clean it a bit and set the action. It is flawless and powerful both in looks and tone. A monster...but a beautiful monster! $1100 shipped.

And finally....Man this one's hard to let go...SIGH...
My refurbed Elite 1537.
There's nothin' like these instruments. Ask anyone who owns one. (Hopefully I can replace it later.) I bought this one in very solid shape but needing a neck reset. It went straight to the factory where the neck got squared away in short order. It plays like butter and sounds gorgeous!
The only cosmetic flaws are a couple of dings that were filled and levelled at the factory. You can see them, but not feel them now. They're quite small, pinhead sized. And lastly, the binding around the treble side of the lower bout is a little roughed up, but solid and intact
Otherwise, it would be hard to find one in such good shape. It's a fantastic instrument! $1100 in its case.

Thanks Guiguite.
I'm seriously going to miss this one. it was one of the 2009 OFC Calendar guitars as well. One of the best sounding guitars I've ever heard. Oddly enough, I decided to let this one go under these circumstances because it's one of my more "replaceable" guitars. Some day...hopefully.
Now who wants the other two?
In a strange coincidence, Guiguite was the one most interested in my CA as well, but he can't afford both. I await all offers with baited breath... :cool: |

BVince, would a layaway option help? Maybe that way your collection could just "mysteriously" grow larger. ;) |

Location: Steeler Nation, Hudson Valley Contingent | This is getting frustrating! More than once now I've thought I had the 6773-lx and the CL 12'er sold, and it falls through at the last minute. (No hard feelings anyone, it's a tough economy all around I know.) At least the 1537 sold and shipped without a hitch, but I've still got to move the other two out the door.
Any other interest? :cool: |

The Country Artist is on layaway and therefore can be considered sold!
So how about some offers for the Custom Legend? :) |

Thanks everyone for keeping this one going. :) |
