Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066 | I find it interesting that all of the DS-768 seem to have a top that appears as almost two distinct grains of wood.
The one I just sold to Bobby was this way and the one on the bay looks just like it. |

| Be interesting to see how high the bids go. The auction ends next wednesday afternoon. The last quality Longneck sold around the $800-900 range... |

| I remember seeing that handle before too...As far as the Adamas Longneck, does anyone have one besides Preston Reed? Does it use a CVT or SMT top? I think the longscale DS-778 mid bowl would provide a good variety of acoustic responses depending on the strings used....An Adamas model longscale would have to cost what, a couple thousand bucks?...at least?... |

It will all come back to you. That is, if you were paying attention. |

Ask, Seek, Knock
7"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.
9"Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?
A simple reference to the fact that I have been given what was needed out of fatherly love. Lower Case for humility.
Apparently I don't "need" this Longneck.
For now... |

| All I know is when I brought up the listing, it said it had been re-listed. When I clicked on the relisting it came up as sold on Buy-It-Now for $750. Which surpised me because I thought that particular Longneck was nice enough to bring big bucks from a 9 day auction, and it was the only Longneck on ebay...go figure. |

| Yep. Sounds about right. A quick $750, maybe he needed the money...maybe the guy who bought it will turn it around on ebay this summer, it's a unique instrument, not alot of those out there... |
