The local GC has a Balladeer 1561 that they want way too much for. SN indicates it's a 1984, but I couldn't find a 1561 on the website. It looks like a standard Balladeer with a shallow bowl and cutaway.

OK, I searched the old posts (not the vault) and answered my own question. 1984 only, worth maybe $250. GC wants $600 and puts it right next to a cedar Balladeer for $699 and a S771 Balladeer for $475. Easy to see why it hasn't sold. Also found that an Elite 1537 went for $510 about a year ago. You guys have really been driving up the prices.

The tuners were replaced with Grovers. The original screw holes still show. 2 piece neck and I think it's a solid top.
