Location: Sydney, Australia | If SWMBO knew I was even reading this thread I'd get in trouble. Too much to drool at Tony. OFC I - drool, but no way I could fork out that sort of cash (c'mon NYE lotto draw). 1687s (mmm, red).
I'll have to go visit AJ again to live out my fantasies. |

Location: SoCal | I have been asked about the acoustic 1127-4 GC Artist F-161 from 1968-1969. At a NAMM party, even Kim could not identify the bracing...it is what I would call a modified 'A'. Whatever, the result is amazing. The firm price is $800 (buyer pays shipping and insurance); sorry no trades.

Location: SoCal | $800 is a very fair price for that guitar. Maybe a little low.... |

Location: SoCal | Most of these guitars were 'adopted' or held until an OFC'er (or Takamine Forum member) had the interest or ability to buy one. In a number of cases, I already have mine or I have replaced it by moving to the next level. They are for sale because I am running out of room and they are not getting played.
I realized that I didn't include prices in the first post...prices are firm and I am not interested in trades (at least for guitars I already have).
Below prices do not include shipping and insurance.

Location: SoCal | Tornado 1231 and the Hurricane 12-str are not currently available. I sold the T-Head and I may have sold my Italian made Wurlitzer 12-string which I only bought in 2005 because I couldn't find a Hurricane to buy. The Tornado and Hurricane make a perfect pair which I will probably keep.
