Location: South of most, North of few | Making room at the homestead so these are next to go. The 1537 had a top crack and eppie damage when I bought it, so it made the trip to the MS. They removed the old eppies, bridge, and top finish, repaired the crack, reapplied the clear finish with new eppies. You can still see where the crack was, but they did their usual magic and it's not too easy to pick out. It still has the original top so the great sound the 1537 is known for is still there.
The beauty on the right is a 1768. Much like the 1537 with a cutaway. Deep bowl with OP24 preamp and cream binding. Beautiful sound also, very close to the 1537.
Will sell both for $1300.00 plus shipping. Would like to keep these around, and if no bites, they will stay, they just don't get played enough.

| TJ, are you ever gonna keep a 1537? Oh, wait, I forgot who I was asking...never mind :D
That is a crazy good price for this pair of outstanding guitars. I want to say best of luck but I really think you should keep 'em. |

Now that I'm broke , with no Job and spending what little I have on my Son for Christmas, that 1768 sure would look nice next to my 1758 12 string? Are you a generous guy? Merry Christmas Bob! (LOL!!!!) :D ;) |

We were practicing the other day, I was playing the 12 string and my buddy says "Hey Bob turn down your volume I said: "what do you mean?? Do you see a cord anywhere"?? He was shocked I was't plugged in!!! :D |
