Location: Utica, NY | I think that I am in the market for an Elite TX, not 100% sure if I want a contour or mid or if it even matters. I do think I'd prefer the "X" version because of the Op-Pro but also like the ebony on the "T" so I will consider whatever's available.
So, the feelers are officially out so please contact me if you have something you want to part with. No guarantees but willing to talk. |

Location: Utica, NY | After doing a little more research it seems as though I am NOT wanting the (imported) TX version after all. So let's refine that to a USA model Elite-T and go from there. |

Got two 1778T's... one with an OP-30, one with an OP-Pro.
The Sweet T which is a 2078T contour bowl, and the 12-string 2058T, both with OP-Pros. |

| Joe,
How much are you asking for the T?
(Though I prefer black, I might be interested.)
Thank you. |

Anyone with a surpless Sweet T, let me know ;) |

Don't know the seller, but he has good feedback and a long-time evilBay addict.
Also, he sez it is an OP-30, but you can see that it is an OP-Pro...
Just a PSA! :cool:
:eek: OOPS! In the time it took me to type that someone bid and wiped-out the BIN. So it is just an all-out auction. |

Location: Miami | Highway61, I got it for $410 on eBay and I just want to break even on it, so... $410! :-)
The item number is 260464416148.
Do a search for it on eBay and let me know if you can see the pics so that I don't have to take new pics. |

| Joe,
I can see the pictures. (Man, that guy needs to clean his floors.) :-)
I'm interested in the guitar.
I'm going to be way all day, but I'll check my email (and the this board) when I get home this evening.
If it's fair to ask: I know you love these guitars; is there any reason you haven't bonded with this particular T.
Thank you sincerely,
Richard |

Location: Miami | Absolutely fair question! I haven't bonded with it because there are two flavors of necks that the Elite T's came in: the k-bar neck and a slightly skinnier neck (I don't know what it's called) but it's the one I have played for the last 3 years.
It also has the OP-30 (which I actually find visually more appealing with its friendly green "in tune" indicator), but my bigger concern is the neck. Other Elite T owners can't tell the difference, but my little hands can. |

Location: Miami | Clarification (I hate that I can't edit my posts!): the k-bar neck is NOT the one I have played with for the last 3 years, which is why I haven't bonded with this particular T.

Which is why I didn't buy a K-bar neck. :p
OH! Hey Sharky... Wanna bet whether This ends-up selling for more than the original BIN of $535? |

(Arthur, is there a name for the other neck? The one that's not k-bar?) |

Location: Miami | Richard, that guitar currently on eBay (not the one I am offering) is black, not pewter (even though the guy put pewter in the description). I'm not trying to ruin my own sale, just thought you should know since you mentioned you prefer black.
Arthur, if the current auction was pewter with the non-k neck, I would have bet that it DID end up selling for more than the original BIN (and you know why ;-) |
