Location: Corpus Christi, TX | First of all let me say how nice everyone here is, I appreciate the help and interest.
After much soul searching, nostalgic trips down memory lane and just plain ole research I have finally reached a selling price that I believe is fair.
The price is $1,800 plus shipping at cost.
If any additional photos or info is needed please let me know. |

Location: Corpus Christi, TX | I put new strings on today and I had almost forgotten how good this guitar sounds. The aged wood top really adds a richness that can only happen naturally and in my opinion can't be reproduced by craftsmanship.
In electric mode the sound through the amplifier is pure and clean.
Would really like to see this fine guitar go to someone who will cherish it as I have over the years.
Don't be bashful, let's talk turkey! I don't really want to list it on sickbay. |

Location: 6 String Ranch | yes, that's the one, how much was it?
It was less than it should have gone for.
If you remember tell the number. I'm thinking 1200 but it might have been less. |

Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066 | I sold mine about 3-4 years ago for somewhere between 1200-1500....can't remember but it was one sweet guitar.
Even in tough times this is a rare one and would be a good grab for someone with the bucks. |

Location: 6 String Ranch | Yeah, I was going to do that but never got around to it. Still got the neck, still got the guitar, just spend too much time playing the SJ. |

Location: Parrish, FL | I find it amazing that there are TWO 1547's listed for sale at the same time. I can only recall 2 1547's in play over the last 3 to 4 years total. I wish I had some extra change.
