That is news. 0n my 301081 the straplock is on the topside (left). I have never had a guitar with the strap lock under the neck...I suppose it would raise the neck. That's a good idea. | ||

Joined: March 2002 Posts: 15680 Location: SoCal | How many people on this list owned their 1537's when the OFC board started, 3 years ago? I'm wondering if I started the 1537 awareness factor here. | ||

Joined: November 2003 Posts: 11039 Location: Earth·SolarSystem·LocalInterstellarCloud·Local Bub | Paul, You were certainly an influence on my purchase of the 1537 two years ago.

Joined: January 2005 Posts: 640 Location: boulder | Morning, well all you guys are the reason I just tracked down a 1537 elite in a small shop in Rhode Island. Of course I live in colorado. I put it on hold this morning and now have 30 days to go pick it up in person (no mail order at all). It is serial #301644. But I will truly believe it when I see it in my unworthy hands. It was $570. The shop sales guy says it is in really nice condition. HEAD EAST OR BUST, I am a happy camper right now. Thanks to all. I will of course keep you updated on finally acquiring my precious. peace mike | ||

I checked out that one at RI (Daddy's Junky Music ??) before Tony forced one on me. Unfortunately, as you said, no mail order...only walk in store business. The price was great but add the cost of the trip and then the unknown factor of what kind of condition it was truly in......plus Tony whispering in my ear. Anyway....good luck!!! I hope it is just as good a deal as the Deacon you grabbed :D . Damn Fugot....this could be your lucky month. You should go buy some lotto tickets! Stephen | ||

Even with a little bribery for her and the shipping out to me, I think this is a good deal. I hope Al takes my deposit money before I do something stupid. Like buy food...thanks, mike | ||
