Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | Here is another of my collection that I am going to let go of...This 12 rocks! fantastic sound, near mint w/ no cracks and no dings...original case! Mothership repaired the strap buttons and aligned the tuners: its on of the early ones and its fabulous: look at the grain in the top! I have another and those who know me know how much I value the 1758's: best wood topped 12 ever! Here is your chance to by one with no issues for a great price. First the pic's:

(reflections only in the top of the deck)

Best wishes!

Great Price!! these ARE the best wood top 12's I've ever played..
my beater(not really beaters but not in that condition) 1758's sold for a couple hundred more than that.
someone's gonna be really happy...
wish I could at that price but I'd be single and homeless if I jumped for it.

That looks just like mine which was made in 1989. They are a great sounding,(and looking), 12 string.
That is also a really good price. Someone better grab this one. Too good for ebay. |

| OK, seriously now. You guys need to stop this! I can't stand the GAS pains, between here and another board! :o
Super nice guitar, incredible price. It really needs to stay in the family - we can't let these pre-Fender O's get in the hands of the Philistines. |

| Thank You!! I can ASSURE you that you will love this Model.... Heck you might even keep this one more than a month :D
really, I do appreciate it..
BTW the custom classical elite arrived.. the head on the neck attachment bolt is sheared off and the neck is floating on the stump.. wonder if I can get an ez-out on it... other than that no problems :( ... waiting on a call from John or Kim now.
Thanks Again Jim... another hour or two, and a look at my bank balance again, and I probably would have bought this.
you're gonna love it.

Location: South of most, North of few | Yeah, I think I had one of these at one time. I know GGG's is very nice. Same burst. Even though I am not a burst fan, I kinda like the eppies with the burst on this one. And yes,...I may just keep it more than a month. :D
My wife is going to kill me. |

My wife is going to kill me. Super get, Jim! And thank you so much for taking the pressure off. I don't think I could have survived another awkward conversation with SWMBO ..."umm, honey, darling, love of my life, I found another guitar...".
If Gway can't put you up we have a spare bedroom here you can hide out in (just bring your guitars). :D ;) :D |

| OT for this thread(nothing new here right)... but good news... just got off the phone w/JB at Ovation.. the classical custom should be an easy fix, no bolt on this according to him and probably just glue that pushed through the holes on assembly... says it's a dovetailed neck and since it's loose already it makes the repair and reset much easier for them.
keeping my fingers crossed, and will ship it up so they receive when they re-open Jan 2 after holiday shut-down.
congrats on the get Jim..

| $550 was an absolute unmitigated example of blatant highway robbery!! :) There is no better 12-string for that price on the planet...AND it included a hard-shell case... Incredible!... |

Location: South of most, North of few | Mike, I'm picking this one up at Jim's too, so I'll have it with me when I come up there. So, I guess the Martin is out of the question. No more room in the car!
(keep throwing ice out the door, it might get a little colder outside then) |

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | So, I guess everyone thinks I've lost my mind??? HA! (Stay tuned!)
This was my way of saying: MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Steve, this is one you should really keep!
ATTENTION: someone is missing out on the rarest of all collector 6 strings in the sale of my 87C-5! I will not go lower folks: these are bringing this price in the most common -4 color and this one has NO DAMAGE and is so rare!! Ask Randy (lanaki), Jim (BegginJM), Mike (Crimson Lake), and a few others who have heard and played this guitar: it is really, really nice! The bling-bling is so beautiful! I would really like to see it stay in the OFC! So, Ya know what ya have to do! (Three days to the bay)
I appreciate everyone who has called and emailed about my health: I go on Wednesday to the surgical clinic for the procedures...please keep me in your thoughts and prayers if you pray! I'll let you know how I come out!
