Location: Pacific Northwest Inland Empire | I have placed a few images of each offering in a gallery folder "On The Block". Included are my 1111- Ol' Faithful
1127-4 Connolly
1968 Josh White "shinybowl"
1113 Classical
1115 Grafter- converted to 6 strings
I will be entertaining offers for a couple of weeks, before consideration @ FleaBay. Each instrument has a hardshell case.
I am not playing these critters, and have several projects in-the-works. They need good homes. |

Location: Pacific Northwest Inland Empire | Neither can I, but she's not getting much action, over the past few years. She really deserves to go to a good player, too!
If someone here isn't seriously interested, I'll hang onto the critter. FleaBay would be an ignominious fate, to be sure, though that's where I affected her rescue, originally.
I kinda feel the same way about Ol' Josh & Ol' Faithful. I don't HAVE to sell any of them, but I'm not playing them, either.
I really enjoy the restoration & refabrication aspects of my shadetree luthiery, and the menagerie keeps outgrowing the available space.
Probably more than you really wanted to hear, but hell; I talk a lot in my day job. |

Like I pointed out in another thread, I view this process as an open, "compensated" adoption process. Not exactly "black market babies", though! |

BTW, if anybody needs a cheap Tele for their kid, I'm listing a brand-new copy for $50.00 on FleaBay, BIN $100.00. Not using it, so it needs to go. It's a good player, too. I'd say, real "vanilla", from my very limited experience with electrics.

Location: Pacific Northwest Inland Empire | FYI, I just listed "Grafter" on FleaBay. Amazing instrument, really. Kinda like "Don't judge a book by it's cover."

Location: Pacific Northwest Inland Empire | Connolly, Ol' Josh, & The Classical are being scruntinized. Take your time, Gentlemen.
Grafter has some nibbles at FleaBay. Ol' Faithful may be staying home. |

Location: Pacific Northwest Inland Empire | Well, the "Light Crust" Tele & "Grafter" are sold. I'm about breaking even on this shadetree luthiery business, so I guess its worth it. I am putting O's in people's hands that might not have gone that direction, otherwise.
Kinda interesting, the questions you get. And, yes, Ovations are terribly undervalued. That "converted" Pacemaker went for an even-hunnerd, and is a pretty fine instrument, despite the cosmetics & aesthetics.
OK, Ol' Josh, The Classical, & Connolly are cozied in, and have a bit more elbow room again. |

Location: Pacific Northwest Inland Empire | So much for my altruism & "public works". Grafter went to a gentleman with five O's already. Obviously, went to a good home. |
