I might be mistaken but this auction isn't going to last very long...if I had the bucks they'd be sold already.

The 6-string is a 1995, the 12-string is a 1996.

Cliff's right. If you are going to gig the shallow bowl is more comfortable and plugged in most people won't be able to tell the difference.

. . and when you have to play-out in "cramped" spaces, those shallow-bowls are a helluva lot easier to "maneuver around" when you're switching guitars . . .

"...shallow bowl?"
Mine is very comfy to play for long periods of time, and even after just two years her tone is noticeably "larger." I play bluegrass in a small room with two Martins, an Ibeniz, two fiddles, two banjos, and an electric bass and usually end up playing high up the neck to avoid fretting where the other guitarists are--and you can hear her right there in the mix. If I could have grabbed these, I would have.

I thought it had about 20 min left, and then it was gone. Can he close it that close to the end?

Yeah... that was $600 each. $400 each if you jumped on it at the last minute.... :confused:

(edit) Oh, and Yeah Jim... All he has to do is say it was broken or stolen.
[some jerk did that to me after I got a great deal on a Tak... Said someone dropped it, but that was after it was finished]

That is incorrect. You can no longer remove items that close anymore. Same way you can no longer remove bids...Too many problems with people bidding with 2 identities and the first person would bid it up to a HUGE amount so no one would touch it and simply retracting the bid within minutes leaving the first identity with a low winning bid...

Seller can not do it either...I'll look for the "exact" criteria but looks to me like no one bid???

you can end an auction if no one has bid on it.

I watched this auction 'til the very end. There were no bids. I would have bid on almost any other day, but there were several other auctions I was more interested in.

Got one too! :D
