Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | The downsizing continues: Here are two fantastic guitars that will make someones holidays for years to come...I am downsizing because I sat down and thought about what I really wanted to keep to play live and record with; I did not want these great guitars to sit cased and unplayed in the closet...so these are the latest offerings. Both guitars are near mint and have no issues at all. Price includes shipping CONUS. I will offer them here for one week and if not sold then to the bay they go.
1. 1615-1 Pacemaker 12 1977; this guitar was given the Mothership treatment last year and is litterly near mint: GC Bowl and Top; FET 2 Stacked preamp; wonderful sound; just back from the SSSJ III where it wowed many who heard it. One of the best 12's on the planet, hands down. $650

2. 1253-1 Deacon 12 1975; you will not find a nicer example for sale...early small pickguard; deluxe Ovation Schaller bridge; perfect intonation; plays like a dream; new strings...
Followers will remember the story on this of my 30 year search for this guitar...but. things change and priorities do as well. If you are even thinking about one of these, this is the one! Case is also in great shape and includes original bridge and copy of Deacon 12 instructions. $1750 shipped CONUS

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | Bobbo, I sold it back to myself...lol...I couldn't take the pictures and then I sat down and played it for an extended period...and that sealed it...it's perfect!
I'll sell something else...The deacon is truly one of a kind as far as I'm concerned...so for now at least, it's off the market. |

But wait until you see what I am going to sell next... :cool:
Meanwhile folks, the Pacemaker is truly special...I have played these for 33 years and this is the best I have heard or played...hands down...you won't find a better one... |

You're killing me. You should realize by now that nice 12 strings are kryptonite to me. You must have (or still have) a weakness for them as well. |
