I have a chance to buy an old O nylon string.
I am told the label says model 1123-4,serial # E-262.
I have searched all the reference data here and cant come up with that model and serial #.
1124,yes,but no 1123.
Any help guys?(I have not seen the guitar in person)

I inquired about that one a while ago. It used to be cheaper, but then they had to replace the bridge. Make sure they did the job right first. If so, it's definitely worth the money.

These were produced for a short time around '70-71; artist bowl, VT bracing. I have a prototype 1123 but it is so different from production specs that it's hardly comparable.

The price looks great.
