Location: Montana | Hi
Any thing but a 12 string. I would like to stay around a grand or below, but I have only found one for sale. Hes asking 500.00 but the finish is coming off the bowl. That may not be a problem to fix I dont know. Bottom line is I am kind of openon the cost vs the guitar. I just dont know what they bring having only seen one for sale. Thanks guys. |

$1K should get you a real nice axe. Decide if you want a wood top, or carbon-fibre, initially. |

But, I do have an original owner Deluxe Balladeer, built Nov 68 and purchased by me April 69 (the day it arrived at the store - I guess things didn't happen quite so quickly back then) that I am planning on selling. I just don't play it very often anymore. It just seems easier to reach for my LX Elite, and someone should really be enjoying the Deluxe Balladeer.
But, like others have found out, if I couldn't make it worth my while to sell, then it makes more sense to keep it than sell it. |

Location: Battle Ground, WA. | here is the link to pictures of my Josh White. I am on the fence about selling it, and just put it out there. (I am considering selling it because money is very tight, and I bought it out of desire not necessity)

Location: Montana | You may. Back in the day (60/70s) my Lieutenant had one in country. He became a GREAT friend and his O provided us with with a lot of enjoyment. I no longer recall if his was a 67 or 68. I would just like to have one like it. His rests in the grave with him. |

Location: Montana | No my brother in law found a Balladeer for me in Mass. I will post some pics when it arrives. He is going to wait a week or so to ship as its a little to cold to ship right now. (for me) AHHH as for the Josh White we will wait and see what becomes out of that tale. Still have some $ left so who knows. |

Location: Battle Ground, WA. | Well, I wish to Thank You Warpaint (Mike) for putting up with my eccentricities (re: my Josh white).I am having a real hard time parting with it, but you will certainly be the first one I offer it to (if I ever sack up and sell it). I know it would have a great home, which is very important to me. |
