THIS ONE is priced just a bit too high to attract a bid, I think. But it seems in just perfect shape, down to the lining of the case. A lovely instrument.

The bridge has been shifted and new string slots cut. It sits way off center. Nice looking otherwise tho.
Ha! I hadn't noticed the shade tree luthier bridge adjustment. But of course that's no big deal, and not one in a thousand instruments of this era make it to today in this kind of condition. Of course, I haven't seen or played it, and have no financial interest...Quote:

Usually, I see these going from around $1200 to $1500 in more moderate condition.
Personally, I wouldn't hesitate to offer $1500. If I wanted it badly enough, I might even go up to $2000. But it's easy enough for me to say that, because I already have a pretty nice one and I'm not going to buy another.
In typical condition this version, needing a setup - around $600-1,200. But I've never seen one in better condition, so it all depends on how much that means to a buyer. I certainly wouldn't scoff at a buyer willing to pay a premium.
I bet the seller would take $750 for this one, if they really want it sold.

I really loved the sound, and it was louder than I would have guessed. These beauties could make one happy for ever.
