 I've got no idea how to post pics, but the link above will take you to pics on Jerome's site.
 
 I'm selling my 1773LX Custom.  I special ordered it in 2005 when the 1773LX first came out.  The guitar is USA built.  It is X braced, has the twin rod neck system, 12 frets to the body, 1 7/8" nut, and a mid depth bowl.  The electronics are OP Pro.
 
 What's custom?  First, abalone around the body.  Just lovely.  Next, a gloss neck.  And last, an XLR output along with the 1/4" output.
 
 The guitar is perfect.  I've only played it out a few times.  There's not a flaw on it that I can find.
 
 I'm selling it because I don't play it.
 
 $1900 and I'll cover domestic shipping.

 | I remember when you had that one built.  Pretty much the ultimate nylon string guitar. |

 | Phil, I got it in 2005 as a special order through Al.  I brought it to the gathering in 2006. |

 | It has a center-hole if you have to reach inside.
 (not to point-out the obvious)

 | Beautiful guitar!  One of these was always on my short list. Unfortunately I'm in the herd thinning mode these days, so it's not meant to be. 
 Good luck with the sale!

 | Original price may have been high.  Let's bring it down to $1700.  If it doesn't go by the end of the week, I'll put it up on the 'bay.... |

 | I don't think it's high at all. I wouldn't sell my custom from the factory LX 12 for any less. Not to mention these things are hard to find, and when you do, they're nearly that much WITHOUT the custom work. 
 I know cuz I've been in the market for a slot head LX (though a bit different than yours) and have been looking around ALOT.
 
 Someone'll be getting a bargain, hopefully an OFCer.
