Hey Art,
I thought those two 1767's were interesting. They were identical to my '92. It's a white label model but it still had the OP24. So we have all three 1767's. The early blue label OP24, my white label OP24, and the later white label OPX. These are great guitars, well worth the investment. The seller had the date of manufacture wrong on the OPX. I looked up the serial # and it's a '95. If I had the bucks to be a collector I would have all three.

IMHO, the 1767 is one of the very best wood topped O's ever built. The two on ebay are about 10 years apart in age and either would make a great purchase.

The gold tuners on my 1767 are quite worn. I'd evetually like to replace them with the ebony button satin chrome's. It's a better match for the overall cosmetics. Wonder what that will cost me?...

Arthur, that '80s' Legend ad just relisted, a $100 cheaper. He corrected the year to a mid 90's model. The photo's show the actual serial number, 496163. There might have been a typo in his original ad text.
