Ok, guys - after over 25 years (where I've been the one and only owner), I've finally decided to sell the first O I ever touched. For sale is a 1616-4 nylon string, slotheaded, wide neck, 12 fret Concert Classic and it's only being passed on so that I can take Woody up on a 1537. This guitar was at the Tour last year and was played by a couple of you but, with some of the others blingers there, spent a lot of time nestled in it's hsc, which will go with it.

The guitar has some scratch marks on the headstock and the bowl and two small dents/hairline cracks in the face. Nothing structurally wrong and the neck is straight as an arrow. Specifics can be found here and I've got plenty of pics here for you to take a look at but if you'd like another angle, just let me know. Asking price is $250 + actual s&h, which I'd like to get but I'll entertain offers. Just email me with any questions. Onto ebay next week if no one here is interested.

I'm also selling a Takamine EAN10C but that'll be in the next post - thanks for looking!

Thanks, Jason! I'd love to see it stay in the family and, who knows...maybe I'd get visitation rights from time to time! And, yeah, that little curl is a bit unique from what I've seen.

Thanks anyway, Jason. It sounds like it's going to find a home in the family anyway. And hope you enjoy the Christmas present you're getting nevertheless.

Um...yeah...it's all good, J.

(I have to say I'm afraid to ask what a "foredom outfit" is. But, on the flip side, leaving it to my imagination isn't doing me any favors...GD it all anyway...this one's gonna be keeping me up at night I can just tell...)

Cross between Boredom and Foreplay?

So... It's a super-charged Dremel! Looks nice.

Thanks to Weaser, I am now the proud owner of the concert classic. It will only be for a brief time - a month - as it is a retirement gift for my mom. I am adding a custom made TRC with her initials carved in courtesy of Northcountry. It sounds great and is easy to play.

"Mood For a Day" certainly sounds better (and is MUCH easier to play) on a nylon string guitar.

Thanks Weaser! I'm going to enjoy it for a month and then I know my mom will after that.

As soon as I get the TRC (No pressure Randy!) I'll post some pics.

She's the one who got me into guitar playing in the first place way back when. I know that she stopped playing for the longest time. I still have all of her old lesson books, sheet music etc., so that will also be part of the package.
