I've hear a lot of the members talk about this guitar. Is it worth the price tag? |

Location: SoCal | I think that the price tag is about what people bought them for here in the US. The only problem with buying from this guy is, would you get a warranty? |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Is it a reissue? Interesting that with only 6 in the US and him having 2 of them there are 2 1651s for sale on ebay at the same time. The other one is the subject of the original John Lennon thread on the General forum. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | This was listed before. I think there were 6 in the US. Al had 4 of them and this guy bought the other 2. Or something like that. This is a very rare find and definatly worth the price. It's worth more than a used original 1651. Dave |

Location: Keller, TX | Al had all 6. This guy bought 2. I think he was hoping to sell one for profit, to cover the cost of the other one. Apparently these are selling for $2-3000 in Japan.
As far as I can tell, the owners are:
Me (ttenn)
StandingOvation
Stonebobo
Tony Calman
shantisf9 (bought 2, selling one on Ebay) |
