Location: Florida Central Gulf Coast | Ever since I sold my mojo loaded 1612-1 CB to Riccardo, I've been looking for a suitable replacement.
Well I received a 1717-1 Legend that would give my ol' CB an admirable run.
The top is near perfect and the neck has slight cowboy chords fret wear. For whatever reason, someone did a decent paint job on the back and sides of the head. Can't find any evidence of damage or repair so far. I'll inspect a lot closer during the 'Iffy's Beauty Treatment' and see if I can buff it to a gloss.
This Legend is sweet and balanced across all strings with a projection that may surpass Riccardo's CB. No serial number, so date unknown...
It's nice to go back to my 'O' roots and re-enjoy that lovely sound that captured me a bit back.
Here are some CL pics. I'll take some better ones after the 'IBT'.

Location: Delaware | I bought my 1612 new in '79 and my 1717 new in '07 and love em both, I think you will find their qualities similar. Gotta put in your own mojo !! |
