Location: East Tennessee | Here's a 97 Collectors on ebay.
97 Collectors
The description would indicate a wide neck model. If it is the price would be about right.
It is not an original 97 Collector hardshell case.
Somebody grab it. |

That is an excellent price without the case for a wide neck version. |

| so does the 97 collectors have that smaller kind-of-tubby parlor sound?
i've got an 87 collectors...anyone care to give their take on how this one may sound compared to the 87?
it's looks really cool and it's a better price than the one i saw listed for $3500 on ebay.
thanks in advance. |

The '97 sounds like a parlor....petite, tight, even throughout.
Kinda hard to describe without actually hearing them side by side. |

Location: Wooster, Ohio | I have both the 87 and the 97. Two different guitars. The 97 is a nice small guitar with a big sound for its size. The 87 is my main guitar now. I rarely play the 97; I play the 87 about every day. If your looking for something that will compare with your 87 you will be disappointed. It would have been better to have bought the 97 first.

| Thanks.
the 87 is my main guitar also. I love it. Just looking for something different to record. I think I'll pass on the 97. |

Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066 | '05 collectors is a great sounding guitar that has a full but different sound than the '87. Used prices on them are pretty good.
I may be selling mine in a few weeks if you are interested.
Another OUTSTANDING guitar is the 30th anniversary custom legend that came out in '04. |
