Sale or trade
1763, cedar, deep bowl, 1988, serial number 380327, OP-24; no cracks, scratches, chips; no issues. Doubt if you could find a nicer one. Actually, as good or better than the 1988 Takamine Classical that I recently got from Serge.
$650 with good 9158-0 black case and gold tuners (gold is what comes on the 1763). Case is what I have been using for my Adamas I, "good" shows a little wear but is nice.
$625 with good black case and silver tuners (I want to switch the gold to my CA which has same tuners but silver).
$700 with the new 9158-0 case (newest, leather handle, pristine) black case and gold tuners (gold is what comes on the 1763).
Above prices do not include shipping. I recommend USPS Priority v. ground.
Check out my gallery for resized pictures; for better detail, raw large pictures are available (zipped) by email.
-------------------------------
Also, I am starting to look at those I just don't play such as:
Adamas Millennium (15918)
Acoustic Patriot (880/1776)
Small soundhole 1968 shiny bowl 12-string (A347)
Deluxe Balladeer shiny bowl with 5pt bridge (? 1968-69, serial unknown)
MM68 mandolin (natural, 478530) |

Location: SoCal | Not yet, mailed today...might be out of control when I start reading that. Maybe if I reread Carter's book, it will balance out.
Just a comment...listed guitars are not "cheap" and do not reflect current eBay. If I had more room and time, they would stay on the wall or stands. And, I will personally regret any that I may sell or trade.
And, the Koa tenor uke and Koa parlor (both with palm tree sound holes) aren't available unless I have a crazy high offer...my wife considers those as her personal. |

| That 1763, is a fantastic guitar, I have one like it in Black. I would have prefered the natural for a classical, butcha buy whatcha find whenya find it. Beautiful nylon string sounds with that round bowl. One of Ovations best right there in that cedar top model.
Nice buy! |

Location: Kennesaw, GA | Let me follow up this chain of posts with this 1763 being as amazing as one would think it would be. The condition is very high, and the sound is...well, the best sounding classical I've yet to play. I played many classicals in the local Atlanta area, from pawn shops to GC, and this is the best sounding one. Just incredible.
Thank you, Tony! You are the man! |

Location: SoCal | Albert, the new owner, is a good guy to work with...and, if any get-togethers in the Atlanta area, invite him.
Albert, you think you have GAS now, wait until you have a room of all flavors (as well as mixing with a bunch of guitar crazies). :D |
