I mean really!
Hmmmm....
Like I didn't have enough to think about. I've got another bid or two in progress, so I'll probably have to see how those pan out.
But...
Hmmmmm...... |

Location: east coast usa | i have already bidded on this guitar as i want a 1614 to go along with the 1615 pacemaker 12 string i just bought off of mark. i have been outbid, but i am keeping a close eye on this auction. Before i bid again i was wondering if any OFC member has one just like this that they may want to sell.
Also since i respect all of your opinions could someone tell me what they feel i will have to pay to win this piece in todays market? thank you |

I do love the black to 'wood' headstock (like the PM). The -4s (natural) I've seen don't have that.
geneo, check your PM... |

I'm looking for a 1614, but I live in Germany.
What are the shipping costs to Germany?

Using the on-line USPS Express Mail International shipping calculator, maximum dimensions and a 'generous' 20 pounds, it shows $105-114. |

Location: Germany, where delicious wine is growing (Rheinh) | Well, I'm also very interested in a 1624 Country Artist. What is the better sounding one?
Is there anybody, who has one for sale?? |

Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :) | That's a very attractive Folklore, and if I were in the market for one like that I'd probably spend between $450-500. I would like a closer , 2nd look at the fretboard though. From the picks it looks to be a bit worn down on the cowboy chord frets.(no offense intended to the cowboys) That's a beautiful finish, and now that I have a burst of my own on the CL, I know why some people like them so much ... they are stunning to say the least. About the Country Artist comment ... Did they make a Country Artist model with a deep bowl? If so, what model number? |

Thanks for the info Dave. Anybody know why they didn't do a deep bowl Country Artist? I noticed that the newer Model 2773LX has a deep contour body. Just wondering if there was a specific reason. |

The Country Artist was aimed at electric and acoustic steel string players who wanted a narrower neck than regular classicals, and also necks that were 14 frets to the body. |

That one will not be mine. |

Location: Germany, where delicious wine is growing (Rheinh) | Well, thank you for your help, but today I have also asked for the fees. I have to pay 180$ taxes at a price of 500$.The shipping cost came on top.
That's a very bad deal for me, isn't it? |

Location: Michigan | I guess it depends on how badly you want it. A good deal is really what it is worth to you. If you can afford it...and want it, price is very relative. Though, if I were paying a premium for a guitar I would sure like to have someone check it out first. |
