Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR		Get it before it goes to eBarf!
Nice Beater to take to the beach or give your protege to learn on.

$333 shipped to the Lower 48!


This is actually an Older Photo, but I couldn't get the one from the "New OFC" to load.

This is the guitar with the finish crack in it, but it is a nice playing and sounding guitar. I use EJ17 mediums on this cuz it is a big heavy sucker and it likes the heavier strings.

Unfortunately, the previous owner didn't know how to use nail clippers, and there are divots on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th fret area wood. I don't feel them when I play, but they are there.

The finish crack is just a finish crack, but since it is a shiny black guitar, you can see it. Finish cracks hide so much better in a Natural top.

There are about 56 photos on the Ping site, in no particular order. The first ones are new, since I used the eBay Scratch Remover to beat most of the pick haze outta there.
Some of the other photos are just what I could find on my computer.

I have not labeled all the photos yet, and it is 4:30 in the morning so I ain't doing it right now.
Please look them over while I play this thing and regret having to sell it. :(

[PS-- Of course this is less than I paid for it, and it is in better condition than when I got it!]

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR		Hey Po' Folks! This is going to eBarf later today. Save me some listing fees and about 12% and buy it now!

If you go to the Ping site album, it now sez $364.24... But it is still $333 to y'all.

Well, that's about it.
I cannot think of anything funny to type... :eek:

Location: South of most, North of few		That is a great guitar, and a great price. For any newbees, this is as close to a 1537 you can get under a grand. Good luck Art.

Thanx for the plug TJ.
It is on eBarf now for alittle more.
But it is still $333 to OFC-ers
Just contact me after you pay and I will make amends to your bill.
[OH! Sorry! :eek: You must pay immediately, but I will refund you $12.67 :cool: ]

Location: Brighty in Blighty		Like the "full" epaulets. Stylish. Good luck with the sale.

Top tip, when taking pics for sales purposes etc try and do it outside, 3 reasons...

1. Hopefully it'll eliminate the need for the flash - result : pictures look better.

2. Digital cameras seem to 'prefer' natural light - result : pictures look better.

3. Rather than a dull/distracting background (dark carpets etc) you could have a 'nice' scene (pretty flowers/landscape) that would hopefully enhance the look of the guitar - result : pictures look better.

I've found that better pictures often increase the interest/selling price.

Once again good luck, a nice beater. If you cannot afford a 1537 (and in my opinion you should sell your kidneys and liver if you cannot to fund a purchase of one) then this would be a great alternative (especially if you've grown attached to those body parts).
