| New one on me, looks exactly like a 1869 . The price list has it listed as a Custom Legend Special, only one year (1993). Anybody know what makes this "special" and different from an 1869? |

| If it's anything like the 1869 - which it seems to be except for the extra neck bling - it's a great guitar. It's a great stage guitar, but being a super shallow the acoustic tone is a bit thin compared to the deep bowls. I sent mine to Mother for the spa treatment and it was one of the easiest players I've had. The black is a bitch-kitty to keep clean, tho. :p |

| Hmmm. No bids yet. OK, I'll put it on my watch list. Just out of curiosity. But I'm not gonna bid. I'm NOT gonna bid . . . |
