just got some pretty bad family news, and need to help my mother out of a jam, and will probably even have to delay or cancel our contract on the new house.... Mom comes first, we'll find a new place later...

anyway, almost everything's on the bay, and more will be going up... I'd like to try and hold on to the 69 1115 w/FD14 elx that I just got back, but if someone's interested in it let me know... I'll get another 12 someday.. but, ALL of my other guitars are currently listed.

Help Glenn help Mom sale!

if I'm able to turn these it will really help, and I have a 100% money back return policy(including shipping) if not happy, for OFC members. as well as OFC pricing, if you're interested in one of these let me know...

so looks like I'm gonna be down to one 12 and one New 6 Balladeer LX... it's all good... I owe my Mom everything I can do for her, for as long as I can.

Thanks All.

Glenn

Love the looks of that Gatlin slothead Elite, and I really prefer shallow bowls, but I wouldn't know what to do with nylon strings.

Thanks guys, no-one is ill, or incarcerated, or dying, but with the current economy and housing and financial market in the shape they are... things got out of control for her, and she's buried in debt to put it mildly... she's filed for bankruptcy, and didn't tell any of us about it... and is now angry, embarrassed, and horrified/mollified that we know..

she took out a 2nd on her home that was paid for, and the new mortgage payments got out of control and beyond her means.. She just turned 65, and works as an office manager for an attorney, and has worked as an office manager/director for Dr.s and Lawyers for years, and is a very smart lady, so we don't believe that anyone has taken advantage of her... but she's not talking much, and we don't really fully know what happened yet.

but we're(my brothers and sisters) not gonna let her lose her home, and if she gets pissed at us for trying to help.... so be it.

Thanks All.

anyone want to make an adoption till this blows over?

Glenn - I can sympathize. I'm about to take possession of my in-laws. I would love to adopt one or two, but I sent a rather large check to another relative last night - Uncle Sam. I'm getting ready to move into Al's house of worship myself.

With a good supportive family, things'll work out for your Mom.

Q-597 still available

UKII 12 string still available

Turser still available

Roland mini stacks still available... cheap..

Sale pending on Custom Classical Elite x3 members interested..

I don't want to start a bidding war among my friends for it.. but, would like to get as much as I can with the current situation.... quandry...

I'm waiting on a nice ladies' response, as I've given her first refusal, she's went home for the evening and is checking her nuts, and will get back to me if this one is too wide for her, her tendinitis in the left wrist doesn't get along well with her current classical.

Thanks All, you're the best!

ok, well Karen's wrist won't handle this one, and Tim now has a lead on a 1688, and Lanaki can't swing 2 at once now... after careful conference with SWMBO, and I fully understand in all cases.

my OFC price on the Custom Classical Elite is the opening bid.... including shipping/insurance in the ConUS..

International members are welcome to it at that price+shipping/insurance and I will credit $50 against the shipping charges for international sales, since I have it offered with free shipping for US members or winning bidder in the auction for the general public.

Thanks All!

again UKII 12 is sold,
and, I believe that the Q-597 is now Sold as well,

The auctions on the Bay will remain up until payment is received from these prospective buyers... and thanks for the help!

The custom Elite is still available, Tim just got himself a nice 1688 I believe, and I fully understand... congratulations BIG guy!

the Turser custom is still available, and while I won't do it, the buyer could part it out, and make the money back with no problem.... the vintage keystone/tulip headed Grovers that are on it are worth about $100 to a G*bson collector for a restoration job.

also the 2 Roland Stacks are still available for $89 per stack plus shipping...

someone please buy the Custom, I guarantee that you won't be disappointed in the condition or playability, or sound of this guitar...

if I didn't have to sell it right now I wouldn't,

and, while I have an adoption offer for my newly restored 69 1115, right now I just can't let that one go, even for a while, it is my "Happy" guitar, and I can't help but smile at the very first strum, no matter how bad, or upset I am feeling.

They wouldn't have made a custom/presentation piece for a known and respected artist that was Shite...

thanks all!

Glenn

btw Jason, thanks man, welcome back! and I hope your financial and emotional turmoils are getting better, and are almost over, and you are catching up on past business.
