Hey, Edwin.  It says it's located in Boulder.  Law school grad present, maybe?

Beautiful! I don't think I've ever seen this around town. The listing is through an ebay broker so I wonder if it's not actually here.

This was previously listed by a forum member a few months ago. It has been marked up considerably by the e-bay broker.  There is no shipping case, so any buyer would have to have a case custom made to ship. I agonized over purchasing this from the original seller, and even thought of takinig Amtrak there and back to CT to bring her to a new home, but it would require a lot of effort.  Still my mind considers this often.

If this was Flax's, the listing is inaccurate as Flax wasn't the original owner.

I know the one I was interested in was located in Colorado Springs.  I believe it was offered within the forum around August of 2012.

The Classico formerly owned by Jeff (Flax) is still with me in Kansas City.

anyone read the fine print in this add. in the middle it says.........................Although not very visible from the front, this instrument has had a fractured headstock professionally repaired with marine epoxy and is dead stable and solid..................................................................I would think that would reduce the value a little bit.
