Location: Gig Harbor, Washington | I haven't quite figured out whether I'm a "hunter" or a "gatherer" - I guess I should check with my wife!
Anyway, I'm considering an adoption / swap for a vintage nylon O' - and curious whether there's an OFC member in need of a nice #1613 for their collection. (The 2" neck's a little wide for my spread!)
I've posted several pic's and desciptions in the Gallery (MisterGolf007 / Toys 4 $ale) for y'all to check out...shoot me an e-mail with questions or signs of interest (kurtroddy@hotmail.com) and feel free to verify my feedback @ eBay as well.
I'm thinking a shipped pricetag of about $400 is a fair deal on both sides (here's an eBay example):

I need to figure out my course of action by the end of the weekend (6/27), so I'll stay on top of quick replies. Thanks for your investigation and consideration...All the best to you & yours~ |

Location: 6 String Ranch | Good Luck with it. While 2" sounds wide for a nut once you get used to it it is very hard to go back to the smaller 1 11/16 neck width. |

Location: Gig Harbor, Washington | Thanks for the insight, Bill - point well taken! Though my main O' is the FD-14, the transition from the 1 & 11/16ths (Artist & Preacher D') to the 2" neck is a bit of a stretch...My hope is that the 1 & 7/8's CA neck is going to be a very comfortable alternative.
!Muchas Gracias y Mondo Mahalos! |

Location: 6 String Ranch | For the last several years I've been playing old Nationals and Collings that range from 1 3/4 to 1 7/8. Once I got spoilt (southern word) I couldn't go back. I've had my 84 Collectors converted to a new neck 1 3/4 and it's wonderful all over again. |

CWK2 - "Must be a sign of age." or Era? There was a time I was as nuts about the workings of a PC as I am now about roundbacks. I quit when the 486 peaked.
Seen Kurt's guitars - lovely bunch, great guy, cool kids. Has an enthusiasm that is infectious! I had GASeous visions of playing a Classical after hitting htis post. Must stay focused... |

Location: Gig Harbor, Washington | Okie Dokie, Y'all...last call before I list this babe on eBay this weekend!
Nice to see Dave's Black Beauty of a #1713 found a new home (to finance his impulse #1624) - now I gotta find a new home to finance my pre-meditated #1624.
Thanks for your e-mails and interest, and I hope this nice ol' unit finds a good OFC home.
All the best to you & yours~ :cool: |
