Post by: Blue in VT on October 12, 2007, 12:24:58 PM
Howdy all...

Been away for awhile but am back breifly...My wife and
i have added to our family (its a girl.. :nanadance) over the last week and though wife and baby are good...my bank acct. is feeling the pinch so I am looking into parting with my OM-03BW.  The is a great looking guitar and just fantasic tone....it has been glossed and upgraded with ebony pins...bone saddle...and hard Ivory nut.  Comes in Larrivee flat top case.  it has a few dents but all are minor and do not affect tone or structure.  I would like to get $800 for her shipped to lower 48...will discuss forieghn shipping.

check the following links for pictures and sound clips:

Congrats Blue!  At first glance, I thought the addition might be a ladder-braced hog top or something  :smile:

thanks for the good wishes all...father hood is great so far!!!

A cheap ladder braced guitar is certainly going to replace this beauty...I'm looking into an old harmony or something similiar....I may go spruce since I have the hog covered.

:cheers

Nice looking guitar. Wonder how it would sound compared to an Indian Rosewood OM-03r? I have a glossed OM-03r with Bearclaw out the yin yang that I might trade you and I'd throw in some cash too. Interested?

Congrats on the new baby girl!

Price will be 800 shipped as stated above.

nessper...sounds like a great guitar but I'm looking for money to help buy nappys!  and I would say that that BW falls between RW and mahogany on the tonal spectrum...check out the links above to hear this guitar!

I just got a 1966 Harmony H162 in pristine condition of EBay (it's a birth year guitar for me). Splurged and bought a minty in box DeArmond 210 soundhole pickup for it, too. Should be a blues monster!

As you might know, the H162 is a ladder-braced spruce over hog, 000 size, 1 3/4" nut, baseball bat neck guitar. You should look for one, plenty of 'em on Ebay.

Neck reset not needed yet, but the neck glue was dried out and the previous owner had it repaired before selling to me. Action is perfect and low. However, I did pay a bit of a premium for one in this condition.

There's nothing that can replace a lack of sleep, except of course for um, well...sleep.  There, #667.  Glad to here all is well.
