No personal inerest in this (despite name similarities)-just a tip on a possibly worthwhile fixer-upper:

Well, I put in my order at 5:44 Eastern time, I hope I'm the first one in line! It does look a bit "well used" but that's a great price.

Good luck Bill. I was having serious thoughts about buying it myself, and am glad you removed my indecision.

The store is closed for the holiday, I made the on line order yesterday, I have emiled them that I will pick up the guitar on Monday, of course, I need to confirm everything, have to do that Monday morning. With the Holidays and all, I have a pretty good feeling that I will get it, the suspense is kiling me It looks pretty worn, the tuners need to be changed, I'm hoping that all of the parts are there for the pedals and levers. It's worth taking a chance, I've been thinking a little about trying another 12 string, lately, this should be an interesting project. Can't wait!

You might be prepared to kick in a couple of hundred extra for the parts that need to be changed.
I know of one guy that said he offered his bid quite early too.

I told this man that if he would clean it and it works and looks nice I am willing to trade for a nice and new Nikaro steelguitar.
If the Steel works properly and is not worn down.
This one has seen a lot of the road.

He said that if he got his hands on the steel he might consider my offer.
So I think there are more people that would love to get their hands on this one.

Farris, you and I can stop sweating, I just got off the phone to Elderly. Someone ordered the guitar early in the day, made the order by telephone. I was told that MANY people tried to buy the guitar, I guess it was just too good to be true. If the lucky buyer is reading this, come on, fess up, we all want to know who the mystery buyer is

Me Too!! - I wonder how many people bought this guitar?? - I placed an order Fri afternoon also - I was wondering why it didn't show up on their web site - It was gone before any of us ordered it.
I wish whoever got it would contact me.
