| I'd prefer not to have to hump these back to Brevard and then list them on the bay, and you may ask Serge or any others in attendance about their condition and playability.
Slydog, and I could really use the cash right now..
1) Slydog's 1985 collector's 12 string, shallow bowl elite, model #2985 ser#800, and is in near mint condition (minor epi repair), and recent neck reset and refurb at the Mothership, to include fretboard leveling, new frets, and a buff and polish... beautiful Autumn-burst guitar with original OHSC and paperwork from the factory when work was done... Noah should still have the COA available for the buyer if one can be found here... $850 shipped/insured conus
2) My 68/69 transitional K1115-4 Pacemaker, new Hand Laid Shiny bowl and top, very nice book-matched AA.. maybe AAA, as Bill said depends on what day of the week it was as to that particular designation, also installed with FD14 line driver preamp, thinline pickup, intonated saddle, endpin out strapjack, and battery mounted inside the bowl vintage style..
Gorgeous 12 fret 12 string, modern interpretation of the winged bridge as fabricated by John/Kim when it went up for rebuild, in excellent condition, and a true Belly Rumbler.. one minor ding on back of neck at about the 10th fret, which will be a very easy polymer or cya fill..less than 1/8" long and about 1/16" deep, it happened less than 2 weeks after the guitar came home from mother, Shannon's girlfriend was playing it, and accidentally banged the back of the neck on the edge of an oil filled electric heater...
I would like to get $750 shipped/insured for this one, but if it's a member of the forum, $650 plus actual shipping... includes TKL Black arch-topped case in fair condition..
3) the "Vipertron" (Slydog's) this guitar was built using a NOS neck(ebony fretboard), NOS body, and NOS or reproduction pickguard from Miles, and New Gold one-piece Bridge from the mothership, Grover 18:1 locking mini gold tuner machines, adjustable brass nut, gold screws, Gold Ovation Neckplate, switchcraft 3-way and output jack mounted tele style, Gold metal tophat knobs with pearl inlay, Gretsch Gold filtertrons with 12 adjustable pole pieces each, CTS 500k pots, and vintage PIO caps... all parts are New or NOS, except the neckplate, and the guitar is finished in Sunburst Nitrocellulose Lacquer, with just an extremely light spattering of Gold flake in it... I paid over $800 for the parts alone, and not including assembly, stain, and finish and setup... includes nice gigbag...
contact Slydog for price, this Viper is very, very nice... even if not original pickups.. it is a stunning and great sounding electric... neck is gloss nitro finished as well.
Thanks CWKII for taking the 2771lx-4 and other items back with you to Amelia for AJ at the next Amelia jamboree.... and I hope that all in attendance signed the book for him as I requested. and Bill it was nice meeting you, even if it was only for about 5 minutes or so before you left and had packed away all of the collings, protos, and original slothead.
I will have the guitars shipped immediately from G8rs or via UPS here in Gainesville if anyone is interested... paypal is fine... but if you could cover the fees in addition to purchase price it would be greatly appreciated.
Charlotte may be being released as early as tomorrow or Wednesday... they have finished removing the infusion lines from her neck, and the drain line from her chest today. She is recovering very quickly... and has had no complications..
Thanks,
Glenn |
For Sale, and played, examined, and evaluated at G8rBowlII
