Just purchased Lucky 13 on Ebay
Morning all,
I had played a White CA Cargo guitar locally & went back to purchase it & it sold! I heard about Emerald's mail out program last summer & it never happened. I was directed to this site by Emerald Instruments. There is so much information on the Carbon Fiber thread I was overwhelmed. Then I noticed the Lucky 13. I just bought the one listed new on Ebay for $1700. I can't wait to play it with my Henriksen Bud Acoustic Amplifier. Then will work on thinning out my herd of Guitars & Amps. New to Forum's. 1995 Taylor 612C 1999 Taylor 855 12 string 1956 Fender strat reissue Martin Andy Summer guitar Fender Kingston C custom shop dreadnaught Lucky 13......

I bought one of those as well. Mine showed up with white tuner buttons instead of black and there were lines showing through the top, only noticeable when there was a strong reflection. I wrote to Balckbird and sent a picture and was told by Joe that it was the bracing bleeding though. I also had that confirmed by my tech.
I immediately asked to return it and the seller took forever to answer the emails so I ultimately got eBay involved and he finally agreed to accept it back. He also offered a replacement or a substantial discount. I took the discount. He told me he bought many L13s in a big box so it won't ship in a Blackbird box. Good luck.

Rip;
Congratulations on your find and buy. And welcome to a really interesting forum. I started with a Cargo which began a long transition from wood to carbon fiber instruments. I look forward to hearing your feedback on the 13; I've heard it's a lucky guitar.

Congrats on the new guitar and welcome aboard! This CF forum is a good resource... and a great source of entertainment. Enjoy your L13!

Oh no! He probably sold it to me. I had Blackbird-Joe look at it yesterday on ebay & he said unlikely new because they don't have ebay resalers. I wonder how it slipped through quality control? I was going for the CA Cargo then read the thread about the E string issue. How long ago did this take place?

I liked my CA Cargo. I really likeed my Peavey/CA, white Cargo. It is a phenomenal instrument. Unfortunately, neither came in nylon.
