Title: Baritone Orion for sale
Post by: hydrargyrum on August 11, 2008, 06:51:58 AM

It saddens me to do so, but it looks like I am going to be forced to sell my Orion Baritone.  I am facing a number of financial forces such as $4.00 gas, trying to sell my house in a terrible market, and daycare for my one year old.  Although I would prefer to sell it to someone in the club, I am afraid I am going to have to put it on Ebay to try to get the highest market value possible for it.  It will probably show up there in the next day or so.  If anybody has any questions feel free to email me.  Here is a link to the entry in the showcase section:

Thanks to those who have expressed their interest.  This guitar will be hitting ebay tonight if I can manage to get some good quality photos.  I am setting the opening bid (no reserve) at a price where I will have completely broke even on having owned the guitar.  Thanks again to all those who have expressed an interest.  I sincerely hope that someone from the club happens to buy it.

Hey Barry,
 
Yes, that is my guitar.  Well, I have never played a series I (the pictures in your profile are incredible by the way, I love the looks of the one on the left), but I think this is a really great guitar.  In my opinion it just has real personality as an instrument.  I actually found that I like it much better than a Skylark I owned for a while.  Good luck if you should decide to place a bid.

I just noticed the knobs; I'm guessing when the electronics were upgraded, pointer knobs were added as well?

The pointer knobs look cool, I hadn't really noticed until Dave pointed it out.  I'll soon know first hand as I'm the buyer.  Thanks, Kevin.
