I have the identical guitar. I learned that it was born March 25th, 1974. S/N C2154. Hope this helps you narrow it down.

Thanks Alvin. Based on this forum thread (http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/viewtopi ... f43797e583) it appears 1C2167 was made in Mar '74 and 1C3710 in Nov '74. That squares with your info, mine appears to have been made later that year.

Also, forgot to mention this one has the Bud Carter signed manufacturing certificate attached.

Price change, shipping included. Or trade bait ?

Post by Kim Turnbull »

Price change to $1500 with shipping to continental USA or Canada included. I'd also consider a trade involving either a Martin acoustic or a U.S. made Telecaster. Thanks for having a look.

Mr. Turn bull:
I don't know much. But thought I would comment. I like the looks of this guitar. Surely someone out there that wants a single to downsize because of weight will consider this. Thought I would make positive statement .

Bump for these guitars....I've had a MSA Classic S10 in the past and loved it so much I went out and found a D10 Classic.

Terry, Wayne, Chris, Sandro

Thanks to all for the hearty endorsement for this wonderful guitar. Good news is that it spent most of its life under a bed, thus the great shape. Bad news is it spent most of its life under a bed, instead of being played and enjoyed.
