I'd like to get a general consensus:
A ole buddy of mine in Florida has two O's he's ofering to sell me (if I can swing them) and I'd like to see what you guys might think of the prospective fair purchase prices for them might be.
One is a 1976 vintage 12 string Pacemaker Acoustic/Electric Sunburst Model 1615-1 and the other is a 1977 vintage 6 string Artist Sunburst Model 1121-1.
The Pacemaker has a decent finish crack not through the wood and a bit of the ear on one side of the headstock is chipped off, not too big though.
The Artist looks to be in really good shape.
He's going to try and get me some better pictures this week, the first I got from him weren't too good.

I like the sound of the Artist model. What it's worth? In excellent condition I'd say $400 ... but who am I to say what it's worth to someone else? Would I pay that much right now? ... probably not.

I've seen Pacemakers rnage from 200 all the way to 600 in excellent condition. I'd say 400 in decent shape is generally a pretty good price for that guitar as well.

The bear is they both have a couple of finish cracks (not through the finish)and the Pacemaker has a chip out of the headstock.
I'm probably going to go ahead and keep saving for my blue Adamas.....

Artist depth guitars are pretty cool if you ask me.

I like how they sound.

I kinda regret not buying the one that OMA had for sale awhile back just so I'd have a spare if anything happened to the one I have.
