OK, Gang.  This guitar is GORGEOUS.  I have a few to spare and more than one so here she is.  She is WONDERFUL, but a new set of strings wouldn't hurt.

Quick, before I change my mind.  I'm only selling her because I have monetary obligations ... this guitar plays like a dream and sounds FAB.  I'm putting her on Craigslist for $1500, but figured I bring it down a bit for anyone interested here.  Any sale here will result in a donation to the OFC.

She comes with the original case.  Priced to SELL at $1200 plus whatever I pay to ship it to you. PayPal or postal money order preferred.

Thanks for looking.

 

Willa

I have this exact guitar and it's always been a favorite. It really sings and the plugged in sound is absolutely fantastic. Mine has super low action and is a dream to play. This looks like a bargain..signigicantly less than what I paid...and I got a bargain. Good luck with the sale!

Thanks, guys.  I agree.  It is a fab guitar.  No movement so far on Ebarf.  I'm trying to sell a bunch of stuff.  I have a gorgeous piano from 1895 that is not only it working condition, it is just an absolutely beautiful looking fully working piano and I can't seem to give the damn thing away.  I hate to leave it with the house, it's just too nice, even if I can't bring it with me.

I know how you feel on the Piano... I have one that's a little newer, from the 30's I think. It needs a lot of TLC, but just really the basic stuff like strings and and pegs and some pads. Mechanically it's still sound. I moved it from CT when my parents died as it was the Piano I started on, but the reality is that changing the that need to be changed will cost more than the piano is worth, and moving it was certainly more than it is worth. Mine is very similar to yours except that the scroll work is actually routed through.

You are right, Miles. A family member is interested, so, if they pay to move it, they can have it. Dan, I'm in NJ.

Yes, Bernie, I know! I hate selling any of my guitars, but it's going to a forum member who will treat her well. It is truly is a wonderful guitar. But I'll let the buyer confirm that at a later date if he chooses to. I feel a bit guilty because I didn't change the strings but I don't think he'll care!!!

I have a tendency to sell them and then get duplicates back ... I did that with my '96 and my Adamas ME white pearl, two of my favorites ... wait ... they are all my favorites. I have no more room!!

What about the piano? I love old pianos. You can almost feel the families they touched just by playing them.
