Sweet little mahogany parlor guitar but I think he is asking a bit much for it. It looks like it is in good shape but not exactly a super-collectable one or one that is very desirable.

And who prices something at $1783 on CraigsList? Not $1750, not $1800, but $1783??

He's just trying to hit the sweet spot between 1780 and 1785!~:>

I like it. I've kind of been in the market for a cool old 12 fret, slot head, parlor guitar, but that one's a little steep.

I chalk it up LA prices.

I post this stuff for folks to look at, but the sad part, to me, is that most CL sellers don't consider shipping. I've taken chances on CL postings, asking if they will sell if I pay the s&h. It's a risk, I know. The worse they can say is NO to s&h. And I know I'm taking a chance on his goodwill and human nature, but, SO FAR, I haven't been burned. I repeat, SO FAR.

And there is that rare CL seller that's going WA-AY outta his way to help out.
The seller of this L&H guitar sez he has an ETSY store (whatever that is).
I don't think it's around anymore, but the ad speaks volumes about the seller.

Here is the second CL seller's Etsy page (https://www.etsy.com/shop/HouseholdTreasures2U?ref=ss_profile) but I don't see any guitars listed.
