In 100 years Archeologists may dig us up:

301004- Tony Calman
301075- Standing Ovation
301081- Jeff Whitehead
301241- Dolbyscat
301347- Stonebobbo
301400- Moody p.i.
301904- Jeff Whitehead
302433- Toney Calman

I think this covers serial numbers in order...Moody gets the owner longevity award.

On # 301004, the strap knob is on the right side of the neck; on # 302433, the strap knob is on the left side.

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.

Tony, how about posting some pics of 301004 to see the differences in the strap button and the battery holder?

Did I stumble into some group sex bulletin board? I never saw so much swapping without someone getting shot in the end.

Add to the list, 051982, the proto super legend as we called it at the time. I think the one Glen is playing in the book is either 051882 or 052082. There were only two made with these triangle inlays.

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.

Paul,
You were certainly an influence on my purchase of the 1537 two years ago. Elias was also an influence, though I haven't seen the good doctor round here lately.

Yes, Paul, you were a factor in the decision to track down a 1537. So was cwk. But I already owned a whole slew of aloha shirts so you can't take credit for that. :)

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

My Colorado brother has turned into a monster! :cool: .

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,
Lucky for me, I grew up in Ct., and have a siter who still lives there. She will be getting a call this evening. 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
