Location: Ft. Lauderdale, Florida | For Sale 1118 Glen Campbell 12 string:
(Good Points)
Deep Bowl
-Well aged natural top, sweet, honey color
-Binding 100% intact on neck and bowl
-Deep Bowl Voice, Boo qoo harmonics...
-12 Fret Slothead
-5 PC Neck, Headstock intact, Gloss finsh
-Neck is straight, normal slight waver on treble side at sound board overlap, base side is srtaight
-Since the guitar doesn't have a Kaman Bar, it is very lightweight and balances well...
-Frets, have been worked on, the action can be set low and is easier to play than my new 6751 !!!
-Truss Rod w/cover
-S/N 045619
-I will include a set of new strings... your choice
-Includes Case
-Price will include Shipping Lower 48 for OFC members...
(Not so Good Points)
-3 cracks in sound board, bridge to lower edge of bowl...(2 of the cracks go under bridge to sound hole)
-1 finsh crack on sound board above fretboard
-A few small scratches expected with the age of this guitar in the top... lower right bout on sound board.
-Acoustic, no preamp
-Gold Tuners are original and are a bit cranky, but servicable...
-Some frets have lifted slightly at binding...
-Nut has extra string slot cut, for 8 string alternative tuning I use...
-Case has that old glue smell...
I paid $400 from Glenn Hess (OFC member) about a year ago... because I wanted to experiance the deep bowl sound... Now I want to buy an LX...
Wife says I have too many guitars, so I must sell... Pictures available

Did you post your asking price or have I been overlooking it? Are the cracks in the wood or finish? Thanks.

Location: Ft. Lauderdale, Florida | First, thanks Glenn for the pics...and the kind review, it really is a great sounding guitar... With a deep bowl sound and lovely harmonics...
I've been under Hurricane Katrina's furry for the last 24 hrs... and power is on and off...
As for cracks in the sound board-
I just took a real hard look with mirror and flash light...
As per Glenns pics above:
#1 is a repaired crack, the crack has been relieved, becuase you can see daylight from the inside... There is some type of light resin covering the area, to stabilize it ...
Cracks 2 and 3 show no evidence inside the guitar so even though they show an un-even surface from the top of the guitar, they are not in the sound board... just finish cracks...
None are bookmatching seam as that is dead center and not an area of concern...
As for price I'd like to recover the $400 I gave Glenn... I would include shipping to OFCer's in the lower 48 states, as a courtesy to members and to sell it quickly...
Damage from Hurricane was minimal.. Lost a few roof, barrel tiles and trees got a good trimming...

Glad to hear you got through the hurricane OK. We've all had more than enough to last a few years! |

Location: SoCal | Still looking? Have a 1981 acoustic 1118 GC 12-str, deep brown bowl, slothead, dark sunburst...no cracks, nothing - just a tiny chip inside the slothead where a string probably caught it (chip has been sealed.) Will eventually sell this one or a dark sunburst 1658 Custom Legend slothead 12. $650 (plus shipping). Only $75 over my cost in 12/03. Probably best example of a great guitar for less than $750. |
