One day I will regret this, but unfortunately I can no longer afford the luxury of hanging on to two guitars. I feel in love with another girl, so this one has got to go.
This blonde round-front Pro-1 has the much-desired barrels behind two hole pullers as well wide pedals, single raise/single lower changer with pins, teardrop knee levers (two originals plus two aluminum knees which must have been added later), 'Gumby' headstock, and original coil tap pickup which works and sounds great. There is lacquer checking throughout the body and one of the rubber feet is missing. Cosmetics aside, the guitar plays well and I have gigged with it. Mind you, it could be play even better with a professional adjustment. It would also make a great contender for a restoration, especially if redone with Mr. Coop's fine parts.
The guitar is set up:
Standard Emmons on the pedals
LKL raises E's
RKL lowers E's
LKR raises 1 a whole tone and raises 7 a whole tone
RKR lowers 2 a half tone
There is a spare barrel tuner included.
I am asking $1350 shipped to you in the CONUS. Paypal is preferred, but Postal MO is okay too. I will send a donation to forum after the deal is complete.

It sure is a keeper. You're right Mike,it definitely won't last long. These single raise single lower changers are awesome.
And this guitar looks great for not having a refurbish already. You can tell its really been taken care of.
Someones going to get an awesome sounding guitar. And the price is also great!!!

| Yes, single raise changer, but 'infinite' pulls can be added via the barrel tuners. |

I think this is the one I had and I'm still regretting the sale.It has a great sound and the checking gives it some great character.

Too late, obviously. Barrels behind pullers. Ah. I would have sold my '76 for this one....definitely. 
Ryan, if we had to connect on that phone call, would you not have sold it?

Chris, I knew you'd show up eventually.
I'm still waiting for Mr. Al Marcus, though. I heard he really loves his.

It's only got 10 strings. How could anyone possibly play that?

It's hard to say, Chris. This guitar is being sold to fund Coop parts for my new 'Bud and I was hoping to discuss with you a plan of attack for converting to a 3x4 (it's 3x2 right now), but doing so gradually - the only way my budget will allow for at the moment.
But, as much as I loving my new guitar, it would appear that I may have not given the selling of this particular instrument the consideration it warrants.

Posted 25 Nov 2007 10:34 am I'm not so crazy after all...

After much discussion and contemplation, I have decided to keep this guitar for the time being.
I extend my apologies to and thank all who were interested in and made offers on this guitar.
Stay tuned for further developments. |
