Ed converted. There's nobody else that can do it; believe me.
Yes the Fulawka is the "Rolls Royce" of steel guitars.
Here'a very grainy pic of it...but please get Michael to send you proper pics.

Hello, Chris.
A Fulawka steel has all the nice high end sounds with an incredible mid range growl that cuts through the mix just like the high notes do. I hope that makes some sense, but that's what my Fulawka sounds like.

Price

Post by Mike Bourque »

in all honestly im not trying to do a highest offer thing, its more of a matter of finding out what this thing is worth . meaning what would people be willing to pay (to make it simple ifs its in the $2000 area id keep it , if its quite a bit more i may sell it . The only used fulawka I've seen on the forum was a D10 and it went for 6500 and sold within minutes,, any input would be appreciated for this..
(I do have a new fulawka D-10 on order myself and if it wasn't for that I wouldn't even consider selling this )

Hope everyone understands where I'm at with this

Polite:
Is the steel still avaiable ?

Pleading:
PLEASE PLEEEEAASE let me touch the sky PLEASE, I have only some month to live !!!

Agressiv:
Ho come on men, or i kill your dog !

Humoristic
Is the Fulawka supplied with his teepee ?

poetic:
His house is in the village though; He will not see me stopping here, to watch this steel fill up with snow.

Illetrate:
You now, am freench, and i relly wante to no the price, thenk you vérimuch.

Hope this steel find a good player at a good price.

No, I don't understand.

This is a buy and sell section, so put your asking price on it if you want to sell.

Input granted:

6500.00 is out of the question.

In the real world, ie this forum, you're looking at 3000.00 TOPS!

If that much. Consider the economy, and past sales.

Perhaps a decision on whether you really want to sell is in order.

So post your price and see what happens!

I think in Michael's mind, the price is around 3000$ and not 2000, that's why he mention and compare with a D10 in good conditions. But recently i've seen a 70's Fulawka to Al Brisco'site, (wich is sold now) priced at 1800$ (or something like that). The guitar was relatively basic in conception and less advanced technically .
If you consider Ed's work and refurbishment.
My opininion is:
2800 is low but not bad, 3000 is correct, and 3200 is a good buisness for seller)

(and 2700 is my price.... hu hu hu) :)

Fulawka

Post by Jim Whitford »

If Ed replaced the changer 6-7 years ago it's basically like new. I wouldn't presume to suggest an asking price, but a new Fulawka SD10 is $3750. Ed is a very robust and healthy man in his early eighties. Last I heard his waiting list for a new guitar is 5+ years.
Just my 2 cents.....
