Hey Kh1967,
thankyou for your kind words of endorsement.
It’s always a joy to visit with you.. you, a discerning member who has experience and insight.

And thanks also to hairpuller for your comment.
I have personally done what you advocate.. a couple different times actually.. and although it was decadent, I’ve done it.

I’m a little confused about the sale here.

A current assessment of supply and demand might suggest that there are many of these to choose from, thus supply is high.
But that’s not the case.
Not a lot of these available on the used market right now.

Or perhaps it indicates demand is low.
Which doesn’t seem to fit either.

So when an item, any item, sits on the market and isn’t selling, the obvious answer is the price is too high.
It is on consignment locally at a (substantially) higher price, and like here, there’s a lot of interest there as well.
If I were to drop the price.. hmmm, let’s say $1000 or $1500.. I’d be fielding lotsa buyers.
But I’m not doing that.

This guitar’s inherent attributes, plus it’s condition, and me not being desperate to sell, dictates my price.
Even though over 1500 views and a couple dozen inquiries has not led to a sale.

I will let the listing stand for another week, and then I’ll pull it both here and the local store.
Then I’ll bring it home and work on my fingerstyle version of Silent Night.
Won’t that be sweet.

Thank you all,
and may we all be safe, warm, dry and fed.
