Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066 | Unfortunately the piper will soon be calling for final payment on my Borges OM18 so I am going to sell off two excellent guitars for what I hope will be one extraordinary one.
All guitars in excellent/near mint condition.
Both contain an ample amount of very tasteful bling.
Price includes shipping.
Tak 45th anniversary, bearclaw spruce top dreadnaught size......$2500
Tak EF75 OM size BRAZILIAN ROSEWOOD B/S w/Adi top.....$3500
You guys have heard us rave about these enough to know the scoop.
Pics coming just as soon as I can get back to my home computer where they are stored.....unless they are on the Ning site...in which case I or some other good soul can put them over here. |

| Stephen - I cant believe you're doing this to me. Right after I bought an Adamas I, you put up my next biggest want, that EF75. Dang you! That 45th is no slouch, either. Best of luck. |

Also I believe that the 75 top is Sitka as is the 45th. |

The EF75 top is hand selected AAA spruce/gloss finished with Braz back and sides. |

They are both outstanding guitars.
and both have line driver pre-amps so they can plug right in for that open mic night!
These are two I never really thought I would be selling but sometimes hard choices have to be made to keep the GAS flowing. Look at some of the treasures Dave has sold. |

I've never been that fond of Taks, but then it's not like Taylors where I have an out and out disdain.... |

So no you are not missing anything.
Check out Dave's Takamine site to see photos of the EF75 and Tak 45th. They all look very similar.
If someone is really interested I will try to take some new photos this weekend but most already know how these look and what fabulous guitars they are. |
