Stay close...they come available once in awhile.

I have a shiny bowl 1968 small roundhole Balladeer.

Doesn't get much play but not ready to put up for adoption.

They aren't cheap...I did a BIN on eBay back in 2004 from an OFC'er.

Responded to a couple of pm's and em's.

The Balladeer isn't for sale, maybe down the road in a couple of years.

I will keep the Adamas I 1688, my two slothead Custom Legend 1658's, a Custom Legend 1659, and a Custom Legend 6759. Also the electric Deacon, Preacher, and Hurricane; as well as a 1966 Wurlitzer 12 (335 style, made by Welson in Italy).

About the only time I let one go is if it is just not getting played (feel guilty) or I frankly run out of room. At this time, when I play the Balladeer 12-string is when I have a long afternoon and pull out the 1968 Deluxe Balladeer 6-str shiny bowl and the 1969 Glen Campbell Artist 6-str. Something about that era.

Hopefully, I will have more time soon...last several months have been great but hard to have more than a couple of minutes to play at a time.
