Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :) | Well I finally decided to put the Cedar Top Elite up for sale. To some here it may be priced a little on the high side, but I decided the only way I would part with it would be if it drew a good price. The reason for the sale is that I Already have the 2 Adamas 6 strings, and I have had a desire to own a Baritone. So if anyone out there has a nice deep bowl OVATION Baritone they are interested in selling or trading, let me know. I Also have my Concert Classical up for sale to raise funds for a Viper. Sometimes the choices are hard to make, but I can't own everying.

Location: Tuscany, Italy | The Elite is really a nice looking guitar and very promising sound wise ; cedar wood leans in the sweet and mellow direction compared with spruce. I am living too far away and it is not the right moment for this purchase....good luck for the sale !

Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :) | I played the Elite in church today. It made me start to take a second look about the idea of selling it. It is truly an awesome model, and I know it would be very difficult to ever replace it. ARRRRGH! |

| Considering the condition and rarity, I am of the personal opinion that your selling price is actually too low...hang on to it already.. I doubt the new owners up in Connecticut are ever going make another one of those.. |

Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :) | THAT'S IT! ... I'm pulling that one off the block! Last night my wife asked me why I wasn't keeping it, since it is so hard to come by. I would never expect to hear her say anything about KEEPING a guitar. (If there were bids on it I wouldn't do that, but I don't feel bad about keeping it.) |

| Pheewww... that was a close one.. :)
Even if they agreed to make you an identical 1768-Cedar Top, can you imagine what it would cost???...and how long would it take for the top to open up??...
Wise decision my friend.. |

Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :) | Now I'm having problems with internatonal bidders trying to bid on my classical. I made a clear stipulation that I would only sell to international bidders if they use Buy it Now and Pay Immediately, then they would have to pay all additional shipping and handling cost prior to shipping. I have already had to cancel 1 bid because the guy either didn't read the ad or didn't care to. If this keeps up I am gonna just say NO. |
