Joined: May 2010 Posts: 32 Location: Ohio | Well here we go...I am new here. I have a 1537 that I would part with but it has an issue or two. First it needs new knobs the originals are MIA. The Top is a really sweet dark Honey brown color. The biggest problem is the bridge has come off. It is very fixible and any qualified luthier could do it. I have thought about getting her fixed but don't have the cash to spare. The color is rare and it is worth fixing. I have no case and the serial number has been scratched off by some dumbass. This girl just needs someone to love her and bring her back to life. I would hope who ever gets her will send me pics when she gets back from the Mothership. I will sell her for 600 bones. Offers will be entertained. I bought it thinking I could get her back up and running but no luck. Thank you E-mail me for pics I can't figure this site out. thebuckeyeblitz@yahoo.com 740 358 1215 cell# | ||

I can't seem to find any pics on here of this color either just Blacks, Bursts and naturals. If someone wants it great if not I'll keep her till I can get the extra cash together and have her fixed. Times are tough | ||

Joined: May 2010 Posts: 32 Location: Ohio | Okay So Mr Vincent Just educated me on this GTR. It is a natural top and is just aged really well almost cedar like color. Sorry for the confussion. It is a brown back and would make a great player and show piece if you do some minor work. I wish I could get some pics on here I'll work on it. | ||

If you don't mind the typical imperfections like Finish checks and such, it would probably still be a great player, as anyone who has played one would know. I hope somebody here snatches it up and sends her in. It was well worth it to me when I did it. | ||

Joined: September 2005 Posts: 3618 Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :) | You know ... I just came upstairs from the Man Cave after playing a liitle bit on everything I have unplugged. I have decided that (in MY opinion) my 1537 sounds better, hands down, than any other non-Adamas guitar that I have ever played. And to tell you the truth, I actually like the sound slightly better than the Adamas guitars. The thought of snagging a second one is getting more tempting each day. Somebody better save me from myself! | ||

I keep looking at the 1718 every time I take it out of the case (it's the only O I have with me here). Hell, that post a while back of a lifted bridge had me eeballing all my guitars like crazy. :) | ||

Joined: May 2010 Posts: 32 Location: Ohio | I got this from the original owner. Her son is the one who scatched the number and broke it. This was a wedding present from her first husband. I barrowed this same GTR when I was 17 (I'm 39 now) and played for the first time on stage with it. We used to work together. I ran into her at the store one day a while back and asked if she would sell it and this is how I got it. I wish I had the cash to get her fixed with the history it has with me, But times are tough. I can get her to sign something saying she was the original owner. Thanks | ||
