I spotted this on e-bay: GCS771LXC-C Balladeer Special. Sorry, i don't know how to put the link here. I was guessing that "GC" meant "Guitar Center" and probably not "Glen Campbell". But i thought LX meant the newer special bracing and a contoured bowl.

They were a decent sounding $400 guitar when they were new in the stores a few years ago. Should be LX bracing and neck. I thought the LX was a lighter weight bowl rather than a countour. It looks like a Roadrunner case, which are not original, but maybe better.

If you are talking about the one with the OP-Pro and the Road Runner case...
That looks like a great deal.
LX means special bracing and the LX neck.
There were LX guitars before there were contour bowls...
Or at least before they slapped a contour bowl on everything.
I have a 1771LX and a 6778LX and they are both mid-depth, no-contour bowls.

If you ain't gonna grab this... Here is the Link.
I would bid but I'm broke! :(
It's got a TRC and everything...


Durn! I'm slow... Took me awhile to compose this. :cool:

I should have just waited. Arthur knows more than I do and, except for the 60s, remembers more of it.
