I've since installed the rosewood mini buttons I got from Temp onto the 1538 as well; very nice change, I'll have to post a pic sometime. |

Location: South of most, North of few | Same as the 1718 vs the 1537. I always liked the 1718 and the 1758. The other two are just more of IT, if you know what I mean. I got to play Serge's 1538 at Iffy's and kind of liked it ;)
Actually, if he weren't looking so close when I left, it would have been in my car headed south :D |

Location: Parrish, FL | I'm glad someone here picked that one up. I was sorely tempted, but w/o the funds to act. I would have hated to see it go at less than $575 and not had given it a shot.
Nice grab. Enjoy the guitar...I'm sure you will.

…First you post the listing for any of us that might be interested…
…then you get so hooked by the discussion that you turn around and bid on it yourself, and win it!
Great snag, be sure to thank yourself for the lead on that one… ;) |

It's nice enough you might even keep it for 6 months. |
