economy man, economy. gigs are fewer and further between because of the economy and yet debt interest doesn't show any mercy.

Hey AJ, here's a few more for you. Aren't they like already halfway there? So, Randy, what are you keeping under the bed?

Randy, disregard my last post. I just checked your albums. You're still pretty thick in some outstanding gear. I hope the current sale will take care of you for awhile. The next cull will require some tough decisions!

dust bunnies. and parting with these is not easy either. i really like all of these guitars for various reasons. the EA-68 is the most difficult to consider letting go.

Randy, this is the second 1537 to pass thru your hands. I coulda sworn that you told me that this one was a keeper. You must have something special going on.....

paul, this one was a keeper as long as i could keep her. i have nothing "special going on" except to reduce my debt, not that that's very special, just a necessary, economical sacrifice. the new owner will be receiving the best sounding ovation i've ever had the pleasure to own or play. i wonder how it compares to damon's -1? should soon find out...

Randy if we could get shipping at a reasonable cost I would.

How easy to remove the neck?

What was the LP custom you sold?

looks like the neck removes rather easily with a bolt in the same cavity the truss adjustment rod resides in. this would allow the guitar to fit in a smaller carton, but the case is not collapsible!

i don't know much about electrics. the LP custom was an impulse buy and i kept it for about 5 months before selling it. can't really tell you anything about it except that it was very heavy!

They sure are, I've got two of them.
My Ultra GP is a similar weight.

I'm looking for an early 70's LP custom or standard

Mike and I had a nice little jam session up in Mt Vernon with the electrics. Next time we'll have to do "Dueling Elites".

Congrats to seller and buyer. Glad it's ending up closer to me. We'll see if the -1's superiority is indeed fact or merely myth. ;)

I can't believe the EA is still available. If I had the $$... That's an excellent price.

Randy, does this mean my old Viper has now made it half way around the planet? Whew, small world I guess. To the new owner--enjoy, you'll love it.

PS: I've just posted my VXT on the forum. If any OFC'ers have not tried one of these, you really should, and the price is right. I'll probably miss it like I miss the Viper, but there's that 'ol one-in-one-out rule, and the MM-68 (take two) is on its way, thanks to Patch.
