Location: Winston-Salem, NC | Does anyone here have a 1768 Elite that they are considering selling? Here is my wish list for the one I am looking for:
natural finish
Optima preamp (or anything newer than the OP-24)
original case
My one stipulation is that I am looking for one in mint condition, or ideally as close to new as possible. I'm looking to spend around $500-600. |

| There was a cedar-top 1768 on ebay last week that didn't sell. It looked to be in excellent condition. It will probably be in the completed listings. Maybe it will relist at a lower price, but $600 for one of these would be a steal.
[It's still there, I just saw it] |

Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :) | That Cedar Top one would be mine. I have two people presently waiting in line, but the price hasn't dropped. Actually, if the member here that's interested decides he can't get it, I will in all probability just keep it. I really don't want to part with it, but I DID tell him I'd give him a chance at it before I change my mind. |

How about one for sale somewhere locally to someone here on the board? |

Location: Winston-Salem, NC | Anyone? In addition to the 1768, I'd also be interested in an Adamas W597 or 1597 (with Optima preamp). |

I have a 1768-EMSX German special edition Vol. I, that I might consider selling. Engelman Spruce top, matching headstock, OP-X.

Far away from your announced price range (even more with our overseas prices), but sounds terrific, very collectable, dead mint - and maybe worth a thought.
My tip: Snatch Dave's Book Elite. These guitars are damn beautiful!

Thanks for the offers guys, but those are a little out of my price range. They are fabulous though.
Still looking for a mint 1768, W597 or 1597... |

Location: Phoenix AZ | You might want to try looking on ebay. There's usually about 50 Elites on there at any given time.

| Here\'s
one in burst on eBay right now with 4 days to go and only $102 at this point. Was listed as a 1778, but seller later corrected it and identified it as a 1768. |

Location: Cincinnati | there's a 1768 Cedar at the Guitar Center in Cincinnati. I didn't do thorough exam but the only flaw I really saw was one the epaulettes had been glued together. The salesman said they would take $700 for it and it included a case. |
