Location: Midland, MI | My German is rusty, and who knows what the conversion rate will wind up being when the auction ends, but essentially:
Currently at ~$350US, seller says it's a beautifully maintained piece with the original hard shell case, case is only three years old. Looks like new, plays easy, flat/straight neck (I think that's what it says about the neck). Something about the strings that I can't quite figure out. No warranty as it's a private auction and the bidder agrees to that.
I'd send the usual note asking for close up pics of the bridge; asking about general condition (scratches, cracks, breaks, splits); requesting detailed description of any repairs (neck, headstock, body, binding, bridge); etc.
For $350, I think it's a good deal, but that's just my opinion. You can compare these other auctions, but they're in the US, not in DE:
Balladeer
Std. Balladeer
Std. Balladeer
Of course, the one you posted is a Classic Balladeer, not a Std., but...yours is a -4, and I'm partial to natural finishes (and five piece necks). Viel Glueck! |
price for 1122-4
