GFI Ultra D-10 2005 8X8 KEYLESS $2200 free shipping lower 48

Post by steve takacs »

Finished July 14 2005, this is a GFI Ultra D-10, fully loaded KEYLESS 8X8 Emmmons set-up, candy apple blue on metal and black formica. These are not subtle colors but real Hot Rod stuff. GFI tuneup by Lynn Stafford and upgrade of Stainless steel fingers (strings will not cut groove into the changer) summer in 2010. Serial number is 1206. GFI II PICKUPS 61 lbs. in case and 41 lbs. out.
Pedals 1-3 Emmons standard. This steel also has the latest 8 REPLACEMENT PEDALS AND ROD CONNECTORS which are found on the newest model GFI guitars and also includes a set of long pedal steel rods.

E9 LKL 4 & 8 E to F,
LKR 4 & 8 E to Eb,
LKUP 5 & 10 B to Bb to A
RKL 1 F#-G#
2 D#-D/C#
6 G#-F#
RKR 2 D# to D to C#
9 D to C#

C6 Pedals 4-8 C6th pedals
LKL 4 & 8 A-G#
LKR 4 & 8 A-Bb
LKV 2 & 6 E's-F
RKL 3 C to B,
RKR 3 & 7 C's-C#.
It has small areas between the necks where the paint has chipped off the aluminum. The bar was apparently rested there. Otherwise it is in excellent cosmetic and mechanical shape. Included is "near match" blue nail polish for touch ups (for the guitar or your nails to match the guitar!) w Case is in excellent condition.
Price dropped to $2200, shipping included in lower 48 states. I will also ship outside USA and to Alaska and Hawaii for the cost of shipping.
The GFI will be available in the USA June 15, 2013 when I return home. Thanks, to all who inquired and especially to b0b for making the listing available. stevet

Only in USA 6 weeks in the summer

Post by steve takacs »

I have had two members asking why I am waiting until June 20th to ship, so I will restate: I do not live in the USA and only come back summers for 6 weeks every summer. I have been a Forum member for over a decade and can give references of those with whom I have bought and sold instruments, if you wish. Thanks, stevet

Damn, Steve. You are killing me. Those are absolutely beautiful pics. The guitar ain't bad either. :lol:

My favorite color scheme on the GFI. I wasn't poor, unemployed and semi-homeless, I would have jumped on this.

Thanks for the offer, Patrick. I sent your an email. Richard, I will try to sell the GFI again in June 2013 when I return again to the USA. Hopefully the economy will improve so that you have a chance to buy the GFI if you want it. Thanks, also for " Made in China" comments. I also appreciate your efforts, b0b which have allowwed me to list this GFI. :) steve
