I'm in Newberg, about halfway between Portland and Salem. I'd be willing to meet you halfway. About a 20 min drive for each of us.

More tailpiece info. The original owner was unable to obtain a nickel replacement tailpiece and therefore replaced the broken one with a chrome replacement part. No extra holes were drilled. After I bought the instrument, I contacted a Gibson support rep and told him that I was interested in maintai...

Yes, this one does.

Dave, like I said... the previous owner told me this. I wasn't there so I don't know.

I found a couple of sets of Elixir reso strings that I will also include.

Sold to the gentleman from SW Portland.

1999 Melobar single 6 SuperSteel neck. Poplar body, long scale (24 1/2” actual measurement). Ned Steinberger designed slotted headstock. Pickup is a custom Bill Lawrence bucker. Top loading bridge. $225 CONUS shipped and PayPal'd. I think that I may have a new set of strings I can throw in also. Nor...

I am the second owner. This instrument is in very good to excellent condition. Some player wear to the nickel hardware is evident, but that is too be expected with nickel hardware (see last pic). Original owner replaced the original tailpiece because it split. The instrument is expertly set up. Ther...

Joe- Sorry for the confusion; the Beard web site does not refer to their models as "standard." It just gives model designators like PBS, PBSM.

Your asking price is only $70 less than the street cost of a new one, so go ahead and sell it to someone else. Thanks.

Joe, very interested. The dents are just in the screen holes, correct? Is this the solid mahogany (PBSM model) or the ply body (PBS)?

Thanks Drew. I did scan the list of recent threads and searched for "regal" before posting this, but I guess I missed that one. Great stuff. FWIW, Antongear (on eBay and antongear.com) will sell a 6510 WS for $675 shipped sans case (I need another case like I need a hole in the head). That...

I'm looking to acquire a decent quality square neck dobro. I've owned three other dobros: a low end Hound Dog (made by Dobro), a real Dobro DW60F (a complete $1,400 turd, I couldn't believe how bad it ratteed, it went back right away) and a Melobro (thought it sounded kind of sterile and didn't keep...

Does this look funny to anyone besides me?

Something doesn't look right. Did Dobro ever use position markers like those?

Jim- You didn't owe anyone an explanation but it was very classy of you to offer one. I agree with Herb and others... the www in general and Ebay in particular is a great boon to those of wanting to buy something other than what may be hanging on the wall of GuitarCenter/SamAsh/Mars or in our local ...

Ted-

I'm so sorry to hear about all this. I don't check in here very often so don't construe my tardiness as disinterest. I pray you will be able to rebuild the entire product line and continue the Smith family tradition of fine instruments at fair prices.

Word escape me now... be well!

Pharoah-

Same thing withe me... I can get a whole step bend on the 2nd... 'works for great for faux PSG/B-bender licks. I also get 1/2 step on the 3rd string. Nothin' much else works for me and not a lot of folks do even that much. I get lots of double-takes when I do the faux PSG stuff.

The Melobar SuperSteel sounds fantastic.
