Location: South Jersey | I'm selling my 1985 Custom Legend to help fund a new (to me) '65 ES-355. This one I got last year, and it had a crack in the face, so back to the mothership it went for repair. Kerry took care of resetting the neck and gave the frets a crown and polish as well. The face was repainted the same shiny black after the repair, and she looks and sounds great. I just don't play her that much, as I've gotten to be a jazz wannabe in the last few years. It comes with a hard case, and I'll ship it stateside for $650. Less if you want to come by and pick it up in South Jersey. Feel free to email me at jwhite7777@netscape.net
I have good eBay refernces, and am also a moderator on jemsite.com as well. When I get a few more minutes together I'll take some pics and get them up.
thanks!

Location: South Jersey | In Blackwood, which is pretty near to Cherry Hill. Closer to Philly than AC.
edit: LOL, I didn't see you were in Marlton. I'm probably less than 15 minutes from you, exit 30 off 295. |

Location: South Jersey | Am I asking too much for this guitar? The ones currently in the 'Bay start at more, so I thought this was a good price. If no one is looking for one that's fine (happens all the time!) but I was curious to see if people thought I was asking way too much or something. |

Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :) | I think that's a very reasonable price with shipping. Especially since you just had the makeover done on it. I love the look and feel of those Custom Legends, and they make quite the impression on and off stage. I'd be suprised if you didn't get a buyer from this site. |

Location: South Jersey | OK, that's good. I thought it was good price, being 800 into it myself :D
She has an OP24 preamp,and no XLR. I have some pics of her here if anyone is interested. I don't take good photos, but I can definitely take more photos ;) I do need to move on something though, so this will likely head to the 'Bay soon (and for more money). I just wanted to offer it to the faithful here first as a thanks for all the info I've gotten here over the years.
(The little marks in the photos that look like dust are indeed just dust caught in the flash.)

| Great Price, I bought mine (similiar to yours but the deep bowl 1769) last year for the regular going price of $1000 or more, I want to sell mine as well but will not take less than $900 for it. I did get $885 in ebay bids but that was the fifth time around on the ebay auctions and I am done with them for now. Buy on ebay now, selling is not so good still. If the flood of Asian made guitars continues we will see some american companies having a hard time selling the good stuff at all anymore. |

Location: South Jersey | I just bought a Hertiage 555 (they raised their prices Jan 31st, so it was buy from stock cheap or take the new hit), so I'll likely leave this here until folks start getting their tax returns back at any rate. I'd rather it go here than eBay. I sold three other guitars so I'm probably good for the moment. |

Location: South Jersey | I'd also trade this for a tube amp with a high quality clean sound, like a Fender 'fill in the blank' Reverb. |

Location: South Jersey | I think I'm going to just keep this. The case fell closed while I was putting it away the other day and it put a "half a match head" sized nick in the face of the guitar. Heart breaking really, since it is almost never out of the case to begin with. I think it has secretly become attached to the Strat in my bedroom and is trying to figure out a way to stay or something ;) Anyway, thanks for the inquiries guys. |
