Joined: February 2002 Posts: 613 Location: Zion, Illinois | My wife got sick of tripping over all my guitars. She REALLY put her foot down today (and i won't tell you where she put her foot, but I'm writing this standing up :o ). I've put my Blueridge on Ebay already. I am selling my 1974 Ovation Glen Campbell 12-string and my Celebrity CC13 classical. I thought I would offer them here first. Please e-mail me for details and pictures. Bradley | ||

I might, might, might have to let the 1537 go. I'll have to see. Even my wife likes my 1537. I hope it doesn't come down to the 1537. | ||

I am currently amidst an aquisition and don't dare get two trip-hazards simultaneously but if you have the CC13 Classical in a month I'm looking for a good learning guitar for my daughter. Sometimes just saying it may be sold is enough! In the mean time get some wall hangers or just flat out hide them away! And June is the diamond month! | ||

Joined: March 2002 Posts: 15654 Location: SoCal | The only thing I can think of is that 1537's have a warm sound and look. For a guitar with a fiberglass back, it's very organic looking. Also, it sounds better to the person in front of the guitar than to the person playing it. Bill, don't you / didn't you do a babe check on models before you put them out? Similar to determining the audio signature of the guitars? | ||

Give her a spin, and if the headstock points North...take it as a sign. If you hear howling coming from your music room during a full moon, set her free bro, I've got a Northwoods home all set up for her. Seriously though, if you do get to that lowly state of having to sell your 1537.... DIVORCE YOUR WIFE! ;) Norse(second thought...PULEEEEZ let me know...thanks)man1 | ||

Joined: February 2003 Posts: 2177 Location: the BIG Metropolis of TR | Hey Norsey, You might want to email the seller and ask him some question about the action 'cause the pick-up looks alittle "low in the saddle" (no shims?) and the guitar (although "purdy") might need a neck reset!!..... | ||

Forget that ugly sister on ebay, I'm lusting after yourn How about a nice little fishing boat? Ice fish house? Deer rifle? How about the rims off my wife's Bonneville? I must have something we could trade for? Norse(this computer is probably worth something?...oh yea... it's not mine)man1 | ||
