The closer I get to 1763 posts I start thinking....

I'm after something like the 1763 but would like epaulets, I know, I know...

Is there a model or is it a custom job?

Oh and don't want a 'classical' nut width!

I had two custom built in the 80's. One spruce, one cedar top. Eventually sold them both to my duet partner at the time.
1 7/8 nut width's, SSB's.. meant for live plugged in work. Very cool guitars.

Here's the cedar top:

This one's in the UK now..supposedly it was custom built for and presented to L.Gatlin in 85... I got it with a broken neck joint, and the factory worked it's usual magic. shown with my old/rebuilt 1537.... I think Mwoody has it still... or just recently sold it...

another of the rarer one's that I've let go over the years.. and probably should have kept. Abalone purfling, 85 collectors FB.. but flat for classical, shallow bowl, op24, 1-7/8" nut, and the factory gave it a carved TRC when they fixed the neck.

Beautiful guitar Jonmark. I'd like one with a contour bowl.

Hello,

Some Asian models were made with those specifications few years ago.
