Hi Everybody,
I'm looking for a 1114-4 Folklore. Does anyone have one for sale?
Thanks, Rick

Does it have to be a 1114 ? They made many more of the 1614 acoustic/electric version and you'd probably have better luck finding one of those.

I got a 1114-4 on Reverb last year, curiously it was advertised as a 1614, but it was all acoustic. The price on mine was good ($295) but it had seen a lot of use and needed a good amount of work - re-fret, top crack repairs, finish crack repairs, new tuners. After the work I now have a good sounding 12 fret acoustic that cost me much less than a new instrument with good tone and playability.

Thanks for the suggestion, Standing Ovation. I will definitely add a 1614 to my hunt, with a shout out to all the OFC'ers if they can help.
I was just relating my story to OMA....I had a 1114-4 that was in rough shape (Lots of finish cracks, a long through and through top crack, bad frets, etc). I spent lots of $$ to bring it back to life and then the bridge popped off....Twice! So I eventually traded it. So now I'm looking for a 1114 or a 1614 that is is good shape and won't cost me a fortune.
Thanks, Rick
