A mid-depth elite, preferably with a rather dark (aged looking) natural top. This is for a customer who wants to buy a gift for his wife so he'd like it to be in excellent condition. What have you got?

OH boy I have been on the fence with this one but here goes..... How about this 1718. Its deep bowl and sunburst but in great shape and sounds great. I'll regret this but here it is. $800 plus shipping.

Thanks but he was specific. His wife is very short and wants a mid-depth.

Too bad he is locked in. Damon's 84 Collectors would be a killer guitar.

Would a 6778LX-VN fit the bill? Single cutaway mid depth, bass side epis only. Looks very much like the '07C with a natural finish top and darker epi.

I've been thinking of thinning the herd. This is by far the easiest playing O or A I've ever experienced. Soft V shaped neck, and something about the setup which makes it super easy to play. Op Pro preamp. Excellent condition. The case may have a scuff or two.

It is on the bottom right of this picture.

Holy smokes! I just got it and it is stunning! I just knew this would happen - I don't want to call these people and tell them their guitar came in. I want to keep it for myself! I just love the inlaid eppie. And it plays like a dream. Of course I'm going to have to call them but I might wait a couple of hours. THANKS STEVE!!!

Glad it arrived safely and is acceptable. Hopefully the new owner will love it and enjoy it as much as I did. This was the first O I ever bought for myself. Someday I'll regret letting this one go, it is definitely unique and it really is the easiest playing O or A I've ever experienced. Did you see the truss rod wrench? It kind of hides along the edge of the compartment, so I looped the hang-tag around it to make it more obvious.

I found it. I always wondered what that hole was for. That is a wonderful tool and I hope you don't mind that I am keeping it for the shop. The folks buying the guitar are newbies and wouldn't know how to use it anyway. Besides, if it ever needs adjustment they know they can bring it here and I'll do it for free.

For $15 or so, this thing's saved me a lot of headache...

This guitar came with an extra long truss rod hex wrench. There's a grommet hole in storage compartment where the short end of the rod sticks in, with the long leg along the edge of the compartment door. It's the only O or A we've bought, including new ones, which came with this long tool.
