Really bad deal. DO NOT BID. You will hate this guitar - waste of your money. Now, excuse me while I go figure out how to win this auction and sneak the guitar in to the house without my wife seeing it. Dave

PS - I owned a 1117 Lgend for years and LOVED it.

one concern with this guitar is that the string-break at the saddle appears to be very shallow, so it wll be difficult to adjust the action lower if it needs it. I'd ask the seller for a description or a pic of the action at the 12th fret before bidding.

I agree with Temp. Looks like it needs a neck reset (bowl bend) which costs a few hundred. I'd also look for an acoustic electric, and would not buy one (personal opinion) from the 1970's. Look for one from the early to mid 1980's. Better bracing for better acoustic sound. Plus you can get one with an OP 24 preamp. Now that would be a killer deal.

Now this, on the other hand, is a guitar that I could get serious about.

I agree with Paul.....The natural color Legend is the one to go for. Besides, the other one might come with a German accent.

I can't understand why the seller is in the US and listing it in Europe?
