I'm assuming the word 'collectable' in quotes has a meaning I am unfamiliar with. |

IF it still plays well, I bet you'd
get any extra $40-$50 a day playing that
out front of the liquor store. |

Location: Tennessee | You have a good point, Paul. Did they ever put foil labels into 1612s, because that's what's in there? The text in the listing says it's a 1619-4 which would make it a Custom Legend (right?) but there's no abalone around the body nor a 5 piece neck. I've got the feeling it's a frankenstein. |

I agree with Temp. Looks like a Custom Balladeer. Might have been mislabeled (1612 vs. 1619) but more likely the seller either thru a mistake or intentionally called a Custom Balladeer a Custom Legend...... |
