: Yes, they are fairly common -- it seems that at any given moment, there is at least 1-2 for sale on eBay -- I think that right now there are 3-4 for sale there... go to http://www.slingerlandguitar.com and look at the catalongs that are there to see if you can find your model -- they made dozens of models over the years, so you might not see it as I only have (for now) 2 catalogs.
