Went to sam ash last night to buy uke strings came home with a 95'legend.I ask the sales guy why they dont have any high end O'S and he says someone just dropped off a cherryburst legend never played it,I think it had the original strings on it $450 w/case.So I rescued it...took her hope and we are in therapy right now!!!

It is good that someone rescued the little lost puppy!

Look forward to pics of the happy critter in it's new home.

NostrAdamas, you have a good heart! I hope you didn't forget to buy the uke strings over your rescue mission ;)

I just swung by Jeff's house (NostrAdamas) to play his new baby: It is AWESOME!! A nice, clear tone, strong high end and punchy pickup. MAN is the finish a thing of beauty: the fancy grain shines right through the deep, glowing cherry stain

OOoooohh ... I LOVE the red ones ... my favorite color for guitars, although I always wanted one of those vintage turquoise & white colored strats. Good score NostraAdamas.

Impulse buy or Rescue Effort?
Doesn't matter, that's a keeper…

…provided it doesn't "disappear" on you… sounds like it may be "the one" Dobro's been on a quest to find? ;)

Which model Legend is it?

If you guys don't want to keep it, can I get in line before TJ gets here? ;)

If we don't talk to our kids about homeless guitars, then who will?

I can't really commend you though until you post some pictures!

So now you should record something and post it! (you can do the usual at home and we'll convert to MP3 etc.)
