Location: Northeast Ohio | Hello everyone, I am looking for a celebrity Deluxe CS245 12 stringer. If anyone has one they are looking to move PM me and let me know. Can buy outright or i have a couple of non O guitars that can be traded for. Thank you ... James |

SSB with an OP-24+
Not quite the same animal.
But I could be persuaded to part with it.
Plus I seem to be having trouble with acquiring the T-12. :mad:
But I am persistent, and I don't wanna the next Korean issue... :cool: |

Location: Northeast Ohio | Thanks for the reply guys, but yeah i would prefer the mid depth bowl of the 245. Would really like to have a Legend 12 or Elite 12 but cash is scarce these days. Pisses me off to put what could be money saved for a nicer guitar in to my gas tank every week. Oh well , that's enough whining, thanks again... James |

Location: Steeler Nation, Hudson Valley Contingent | Have you considered a used Custom Balladeer? I see them all the time for under $400 on the 'Bay and Craigs List. My 1755 Plays like butter and absolutely booms! Even without the sentimental value of having had it for 20+ years, I wouldn't sell it because the values are so deflated for such a fantastic guitar. |

Elite 1758
If this one's still there in a few days, it might well head towards my house. :cool: |

| That is indeed a very sweet deal on a great 12-string. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | If you don't think that you got a way better guitar than the CS245 at a great price, then put it up for sale here for the same price as what you paid for it. You got a really nice guitar there. |

Location: Steeler Nation, Hudson Valley Contingent | Hehe, don't thank me 'til you hear it. That thing will positively BURY any Celebrity out there. It will, in fact, give pretty much any 12-string on the planet a long run for the money. Yep, they're that good. :D My evil twin is still kicking me for telling anyone about it. ;) :cool: I can't remember the last time I was so sorely tempted to spend money I didn't have. :rolleyes: |
