Location: Chehalis, Washington | So, just having acquired an FD14 finally, I ended up with a major ER trip for my wife last week, which is going to result in some chunky medical bills. To plan ahead, here are some offerings I am putting up for grabs:
All Prices Include US Shipping & Paypal!
1. FD-14 Folklore limited
One small ding above the bridge, some discoloration from a factory repair along the lower bout, but overall a good 9/10 and sings like an angel. With deluxe OHSC. - $1200
2. Applause Koa "Palm" Uke
This one is mint, and has the rare (I believe) Palm-tree epis rather than the standard Elite style. Koa top, acoustic electric with tone & volume knobs. With padded gig bag. - $275
3. Tacoma EKK19C Koa SJ
Pre-Fender small-jumbo body size with cutaway, solid Koa body and top with gorgeous figuring. This has been my main go-to guitar for the past couple years, and does have a little wear to it. The previous owner had a small crack in the bass-side along the waist repaired, which is solid and smooth but visible if you look for it, and there is a finish mar along the side of the guitar at the base of the neck. Some wear on the first 3 or 4 frets. This is an awesome stage guitar, with a ton of bass and a very warm woody sound. Comes with fitted HSC and optional custom TRC. - $900
4. Takamine G-series OM Sitka/Maple
Basically brand-new, I bought it to have a cheap backup/travel guitar new a month or so ago, and have barely played it. Vintage burst finish with a lot of red hues, plays easy and a great value for a little import. Acoustic only, comes with an Ibanez HSC. - $300
5. Fender Blonde Blues Jr
Upgraded amp with Celestion 12" hot lead speaker, upgraded capacitors and kick-back legs. Currently set up with Groove Tubes, has that awesome fat Fender tube amp tone that works for practically everything. Virtually mint. - $600
6. Pedaltrain small pedalboard - $95
7. Boss Blues Driver pedal - $65
8. Boss CE-5 Multi-Chorus pedal - $65
9. MXR Compressor/Sustainer - $48
10. Boss DS-1 Distortion - $40
11. Mbox 2 Mini digital recorder interface with ProTools software & all manuals, original box. - $189
12. Italia Straps plush leather 2 1/2" strap, cream/brown with black suede backing, extended length, basically mint. Bought it for my Cornerstone, and it ended up not matching as well as I thought it would. - $75
Email or PM me if you are interested in any of these, or would like pictures. I'm in the middle of moving, as well as working 70 hours a week and dealing with my wife's stomach and back pains, which are fortunately getting better, so forgive the lack of full pics and descriptions.
Peace to all,
Andrew |

It is a really nice sounding guitar. Probably not in the same category as a 1537, and where that one is very heavy and bassy, the Tak is much brighter and bell-like. Maple tends to have a lot of ring without a lot of sustain. Very pronounced, but not the warm rumble of the 1537. |

Location: Utah | Pedaltrain has arrived. Thanks, Andrew, it's perfect and will solve some stage problems for us. I had wanted one for a while but resisted spending the money. I'm glad to have been able to help you out and to get something of more utility than expected, though sorry that your sale was necessary in the first place.
Best of luck to you and your family. |
