I have 9 more days to save for Adrian Legg's Baritone!
Want to buy an overpriced Golden Viper? :eek: |

I knew I couldn't afford it, but I placed a few bids just for the narrative value. |

After reading the description on the D-longneck I still can't tell if this guitar is prototype Number 1. Does anyone else read this differently than me?

ToddG, you should go to Spotlight Music and check out the book Mandolin, it's very cool. |

The guitars were made in the USA but currently reside in the UK.
Since they would be shipping back to the country of origin, would they be exempt from taxes/duties, etc? |

So far as I know this is the only one in England. |

I'm betting $2500. |

Location: 6 String Ranch | The only one I have left now is the silver one which was the 5th one made, and the black 12 string. You could probably special order one from the factory for what I'd sell it to you for so I'd suggest that avenue. That way you get everything exactally how you want it. |

Where is the LX Baritone or the Adamas with ANS Neck Baritone that we know could be done?
Or is this a miniscule flavor of GAS? |

Looks like 2500 might be the right guess. |

Location: NJ | many guitarists are not collectors. if they don't use an instrument they sell it.
thinko of it this way. how many classical musicians own more that their main instrument and a backup? few.
guitarists are a stranger lot of folks. |

Location: Capital District, NY, USA Minor Outlying Islands | If I don't use 'em I have to sell them. I wish I had the room, but I don't. If they don't work (in the sense of "going to work") they gotta go and someone else can use 'em. Right now I have three guitars: My Adamas, Country Artist and OSP-1 electric papoose. I'm making a Warmoth tele.
In a sense I view my guitars like horses, they are happy working, and being properly taken care of, if I have too many they will suffer. Like any machine, they were meant to be used.
That is your buddhist thought for the day. Thank you. |

| Couldn't agree more. Use it or move it. Guitars hate doing nothing. If that wasn't true they would improve hanging on a wall/sitting in a case. And we all know they don't.
Your zen thought for the day. Thank you. |

Why???? If you want to reach the largest amount of people possible and get the best price, where else would you go? Certainly not local or the papers. Despite its faults, ebay is still a great clearing house to buy and sell gear. |
