So the local guy at the pawn shop has my number and gives me a ring when some poor soul has pawned their Ovation. He knows I prefer the USA models - and am in search of a shiny bowl - but he also likes to tempt me cause he knows I caught G.A.S.

A while back he called me to come over and see a sweet Korean made Celebrity CS-247 with a Quilted Green Burst. Damn thing looked virtually unplayed. His bottom-line price was $300 - so I gave him $10 to hold it for me for a few weeks until I could sell my like new - Applause AE-44-5 pretender on FleaBay. I will be damed if someone gave me a cool $310 for that sucker (ok I did eat the $30 in shipping!). Just brought her home, gave her a rubdown and a new set of strings.

Now someday I am determined to own the USA inversion of this girl - but man this green sugar sure sounds sweet.

 

 

One in - one out is really all the wife could ask for right?

 

right...

Celebrity CS-247

Location: Yokohama, Japan		SWEET! "Mid-depth bowl" version of the shallow bowl CS-257 (or CC-257). The MIC Os were and are still very unstable as far as quality goes, but the MIK Os were very consistent in quality. Not comparable to a NH O, but for $300 bucks, man you gotta love it, and the green sunburst quilted maple top is killer! Nice pic up! Thanks for sharing!

Location: Frozen Tundra of Minnesota		WOW!!!! That Green is Gorgeous!!!! I Love that!!!
I keep looking for just the right Green Custom Legend, but the ones I have seen have problems. That Green is STUNNING, especially with the quilted maple!!

And Congratulations for being able to get one, by selling one!!
You have caught the Bug! LOL!!!

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR		I have owned a couple of CS247's, including a Long-Neck.
They are pretty nice guitars.

Yeah, you can find Elites that Sold for $300.
It is pretty hard to find one FOR SALE for $300.
And often there is a reason that they are selling so cheap.
(condition, location, economy, desperation)
