Location: Budd Lake, NJ | Joisey Goil #2 was over tonight, and was using my '97 Parlor...and has totally fallen in love with her. (Unfortunately, so have I, and she is a permanent member of the family. Right up there with Gertrude and Jewel.)
So...if there are any among you who have one with the thinner neck that you might be willing to part with, please let me know.
Thanks.

She is in perfect condition.
You can see some pics here.

By the time we pay what you're asking, and then pay to get it shipped over, it's going to be beyond what either one of us can afford to spend.
But...maybe now someone over on your side of the pond will have the opportunity to take her home.

Location: Pewaukee, WI | There's a 97C here at Wade's Music (Milwaukee, WI). They're a small local vintage type shop, so I'm not sure if they ship (probably would). It played nice, but I didn't notice if it was a wide or narrow neck (probably a narrow as that's what I have and I didn't notice any difference).
It's about $595 or something there-about, but they've alway been flexible when I've purchased.

Location: Budd Lake, NJ | We have found one; the sale is pending, courtesy of one of our board members. I will won't say much more until it's all done, but we are very grateful to a certain brother here.
Thank you, all, for your help--truly this is the best place.

Brad, The only time i talked to them about that guitar was about 4-5 years ago and the kid I talked to thought they might let it go for about $1,000. I would think if they wanted to move it they would put a lower sticker price on it. They have never been pushy about trying to get you to buy a guitar. That is one reason I like to stop in every couple of weeks. |

Cheryl has received her very-much wanted Parlor, courtesy of our own Capo Guy. It has arrived safely, and she is just thrilled. (I will be visiting her with my "twin," and can't wait to hear them side by side.)
Her computer was misbehaving, and I promised to post this for her.
Thank you, Mike, for making this possible; love from both of us,
--Karen |

Dangerous thing to do when shipping a guitar.
I do have something to take its place so I'm happy that Cheryl loves it and that it arrived safely. |

We overfly your store just about weekly (Boise/Chicago or Den/Rap) and it always gets me to thinking about you and your shop. |
