Location: Sacramento | Hi,
I've simply got too many guitars and not enough space. This one has gotten no playing time in the past year, so it needs to go to a good home where it'll be played.
When I purchased this it had the left over residue of a "Florentine" like decal on the top and scratches & gouges from someone scraping the decal off. My luthier took it, set it up, cleaned the top off and buffed it up, making a dramatic difference in the appearance. As you can see in the pictures, there are still a few scars, but not noticeable.
Action is great on this one and the electronics work, although a bit scratchy sounding when adjusting the controls. A bit of wear in the fretboard in the upper positions. I'm trying to give as much info as possible. This is a 30 plus year old guitar that is a great player. I'll split paypal with you and shipping will be my cost, which depending upon where you live could be up to $65. 3 day approval period. If you don't like it, send it back and I'll refund the purchase price to you (less shipping)
Thanks for looking,
Terry

Back then it was just called the artist depth and you got that or a deep bowl. Do some research and you'll learn about it.... |

Location: NW Washington State | My 1624 has a similar label, so maybe about the same era. It's 4" deep at the end of the fretboard. I remember seeing "artist depth" on one of the sites. How deep is a "deep bowl"?

Location: Angoulême - France | About bowls (1624 is a shallow) :
- Deep bowl was 5 13/16’’ in the early models, its' now for more than ten years : 5 7/8’’
- Shallow bowl was 5 1/8’’ (130 mm) and then named Artist 5 1/4’’ (or mid-depth bowl)
- Super Shallow = 4 1/16’’
- Adamas Deep Bowl = 6 1/16’’ but only 5 7/8’’ if not a suspended ring mount...

Remy Wow great to know!!! I didn't realize the difference in size between deep and shallow was really so small. Thanks! |

do you know Wiesbaden?
I live in Budenheim, it's about 10 kilometers from Mainz. Wiesbaden is exactly on the other side of the river Rhein. From my home to the center of Wiesbaden, thats maybe 16-18 km.

I've also bought this weekend a 1614 on ebay Germany. It was the guitarplayer from P. Werner (Kribbeln im Bauch) in the 90th. Not fare from you, in Weinheim-Birkenau. The guitar is extrem dusty, the frets are "played", you can see, but in yery good condition, only some dings and no crackes in the top. Now I'm cleaning and polishing it, then it will be new strung and then....let's go.

Location: Tuscany, Italy | Hey bburg you got the 1614 from the ebayer silberhoff ?
I was watching that Folklore as well. At one point the auction disappear to reappear the day after with 22 days run :eek: and then back to the original expiring date. :confused: However congrats on your new baby ! I'm sure it's a good get. When you decide to get rid of it let me know ;) . Meuti already knows the Folklore is at the top of my wish list. :p
