Location: South of most, North of few | As many of you know, I just bought this on off Music Mike. Beautiful sounding and looking 1758 12 string. I had to make a choice between two 12 strings, and decided to keep the Custom Legend. I am in the process of sending the CL back to the factory for a refurb, so this one is up to fund the other ones repair. Anyway, I will part with it for what I paid, (which was a steal) at 550.00 + shipping and paypal fees if applicable. Try not to drool on the keyboard.... :D

| Wow, that's a steal, Jim. And a right beautiful guitar. If my real love weren't a slothead 12-th fretter Custom Legend 1658, this would be it. Best of luck with the sale.
SOMEBODY HERE NEEDS TO GRAB THIS! |

Location: Simpsonville, SC | I have seen and played this great guitar. Jim stole it from MusicMike (or Music GAVE it away because of GAS).
I was lucky enough to have this guitar, Jim's CL 1658, and my Adamas 1685 at my house recently. I played between the three for a long time. Each unique and wonderful in their own right!!! Wish I could own em all, but, variation is tha spice of life.
I wonder who will steal this from Jim. Truly wonderful condition, playability and sound...
Damn, wish I wasn't outa git funds... |

This is a great guitar. I have played it and I have one which could be it's twin. Someone in the OFC needs to grab this. It is too nice a guitar to go one ebay. |

Location: South of most, North of few | This was a hard one to decide on, but I wanted to keep the CL slothead, and it needs some "Mothership Massage" so I have to generate the funds. Although, looking at the pictures.....naw, I've made up my feeble mind to move it. |

| this will be the 3rd 1758 for me, maybe I'll keep this one... I've never had a better sounding O 12... including the Adamas 1885, or Legend 12s..
but have never owned a deep bowl 12 Adamas so not done with the search yet...
till then this one fills the bill.
Thanks Jim!

You need to revisit your UTE and 1537 needs. Now is the time.

Location: South of most, North of few | Thanks guys, It sold to Keith Arnold, who is a member but doesn't post much. I'll try to get him to hang around more. He plays in a Celtic (did I spell that right) rock band. Basically a rock band with bagpipes. To talk to him on the phone you'd swear you were talking to Beggin...
And as for whats next, I really don't know. I'll be lurk..., uh, looking around. ;) |

Location: AKRON, OHIO | Hey trader,
I bought a csd225 double neck frm a guy in california,When I got the guitar I let her sit in the box till the next morning to get used to the temp. (Know how hard that is....waiting) and when I opened the box ......IT was JUNK!
The bracing was loose and some were BROKE ! UPS must have stacked a LOT on her.I filed a claim and was waiting for my MONEY to be returned when I seen your 1758 12string(Keith Im so envious)
The money came TODAY! (to late) Keith if you ever decide to part with her PLEASE let ME know!
A day late and a dollar short.......Gary... aka ... gglide |
