Location: Location Location Location | Thank you so much for parting with the '76 Red Custom Balladeer. It's everything you said and more. It was such a pleasure dealing with you.
I only wish that all my transactions could go as easy as this. You're honest and open, with a lot of integrity. You made the whole experience painless. Of course the pay off was getting more than I expected with a guitar that I just can't put down. |

Location: Parkersburg, WV | My first and sentimental favorite is my '77 red Custom Balladeer 1612-2. What is really cool about the finish is that it is more like a bright, even red stain as opposed to red paint. Up close you can still see the nice spruce grain pattern.
