Let me know. I have lots posted on a private web server for viewing.
Do you have pics of yours? I’m curious about the backplate on the base of the neck.
Interesting and very helpful advice 1bass.
I have tons of fun watching the yearly “too awful to look at” lists of guitars for sale so I’m well aware of the inflated self-worth some owners ascribe to their FS postings 😉
I will do as you suggested. Sentimentality is what got me dragging my stuff across the continent six or seven times as a struggling pro athlete (distance runner) with no driver’s license. It’s friggin hard to barter your way onto a flight with two extra carry-ons since 2001.

Interesting to see how the pricing issue is perceived by the experts here.
I had such a question some time ago as well, and have learned it’s a very dodgey question to ask up front.
Perhaps a good follow up question then: if someone were coming to this forum to find the best means of disposing of a good guitar, what would be the best place to go? The most suitable owners might not pay more $$, but the result is that the guitar might not be stripped for parts.
I have a guitar I’m seeking an owner for, and I see plenty of guitars listed on eBay and elsewhere, however in my case I would prefer to see this thing go to someone who will treat it with as much care as I have for the last 16 years. I imagine many are merely out there to valuate something like the 5th in a line of 1000 guitars they’re trying to dump. How does everyone here filter out the sincere requests when valuing guitars seems to be such a subjective affair?

I’ll go check out your site…I just sent you 5 bucks.
The teaser catalogues look nice.
Very helpful indeed.
The sound is nice. I play classical guitar more, but and like this model for it’s warmer tones when I can plug her in. I really love the low set action so havign tried a few more electics since buying this one I’m pretty happy. I hardly play it as I don’t have an amp with me these days (small child in the house). The classical suits my needs more.
I dismantled the guitar soon after I bought it to clean and inspect the parts and finish/fit. The only thing that was wonky was one of the volume controls, which I refurbished and no no longer crackles from time to time.
She originally had heavy guage strings on it, and I think the original owner was playing it as a blues guitar. I have used much lighter guage strings since then due to the low fret profiles and light neck. Less bowing if you know what I mean (ugh).
I had a guess that no repros exist for Italian models…however I’ll be mighty surprised if this guitar is as old as I think it is. I juts can’t find any stickers/stamps or serial numbers to confirm. The finish and brightness of the binding and purfling made me think it was fairly new.
