Location: Carle Place, NY | This is a perfect example of a seller who is clueless as how to sell/market a guitar. Lousy photos and the description harps too much on the lack of a pick-up.
Nice guitar anyway. |

Location: Back in the Valley of the Sun Mesa Az. | sold for $229.00. My 1117 is a great guitar, I wouldn't sell it that cheap, and it's probably in worse shape. |

Location: Carle Place, NY | That's a great deal for the buyer. The 80's 1117 models have fantastic acoustic tone.
A better ad would have upped the price by about $100. |

Location: Houston, Texas | I'm curious about this because I thought that the two pins on the bridge usually indicated a Celebrity. Could this have been repaired? Were these ever used on new USA models? Could someone have replaced the label? |

Could someone have replaced the label? There used to be lots of US made O's with two bolts in the bridge. The spacing is different on Celebrity models (wider apart?). My 1755 12 string has 3 bolts on the bridge. The bridge on the new models is attached a different way, so there's no bolts, but back in the 80's I think that most US O's had the two bolts. |
