Selling my 1978 Series I guitar. Email me if interested using the envelope icon under my name on the left.
Thanks.
-
Fine guitar there... I remember it fondly.
-
Would you consider selling or exchanging the knobs?
-
I had those custom made, ebony and gold wire, they cost $75 each. I think I will probably leave them on the guitar. I may have some extras if you are interested.
-
I’m working on purchasing a lighter weight hollowbody guitar (better for my back) and I’d like to pass this along to the next custodian, so please let me know if interested.
$5000 plus shipping, I think that is reasonable for a Series I Guitar in excellent condition.
Thanks.

Hope all is ok with link.
I had some buffering issues, appreciate how you were methodical with presenting the different settings.
-
Thanks, Paul. Yes, the link kept freezing up, probably too big a file to effectively stream. Would require a full download, so I took it down until I can figure out YouTube.

YouTube link to sound clips

Nice demo of 1116 Rob... nice playing. Hearing it again takes me back. :)
For any interested party, most of the time I had this guitar, it wore a set of Thomastik Infeld flats, the George Benson signature set (.012 - .053, with a wound .020 3rd) which was a whole new pallette of tones.
-
Might you have switched your sights from a hollow body to an incredible deal on a smaller bodied Alembic guitar, perhaps one without bat wings, Rob?
hehehehe
Bill, tgo
-
Bill, I don’t follow what you are thinking, the guitars I currently have are this one, a Turner Electroline, a Benedetto Benny, and Guild Starfire IV. No small bodies batwings.
-
That’s weird. I thought I saw you post about getting a Further on another forum, but now I can’t find it. Do you post on Strat-talk or Thegearpage?
Bill
-
No, as much as I would like a Further, I don’t see that happening right now. It must have been someone else since I don’t post on Strat-talk. I did have this Series guitar posted on Thegearpage for a while, but no inquiries so I took it down last week. I just took this down from reverb as well since the only interest was from low ballers and scammers. I’ll leave it posted here for a while, but I just played it again today and it really is a fantastic guitar, so may just end up keeping it and selling the Starfire IV instead (which is actually a pretty heavy guitar… 10 pounds).

Thanks, Greg…flatwounds and .012 gauge? I will have to try flats on this guitar, but maybe .011. :)

I remembered where I saw it. There’s another Rob V on the “New New GDMF” facebook group and his buddy just gave him a Further. I thought it was you.

Still available…$5200 shipped
-
$4500 shipped, email me if interested. Thanks.
-
Comes with a Calton case I had custom made ($1500 value) in like-new condition.
-
That case is incredibly well-built. Back when I had it I often wished my Series bass would fit in it, rather than the giant rectangle. Alas, in the parlance of Archie Campbell in an old fractured fairy tale... it fittin dit. 😄
Someone who had both 1116 here, and Bill TGO's 12-string would have quite a nice matching pair of Peruvians.
-
$4,500 with that case is a good buy. Surprised no one has picked it up yet?
Which brings up a point I don’t understand…Why do Series basses ALWAYS go for a lot more than Series guitars? But that’s another thread.
-
Played it for a while today. This is an amazing guitar. Putting this on hold.
-
Putting this Series I guitar back up for sale. It’s a beautiful guitar and I love the way it sounds and plays, but for a guitar it is just a bit too heavy for me. I’m asking $4500 shipped, which I think is a fair price for a Series I guitar and custom Calton case, both in excellent condition. Please PM me if interested. Thanks.
Moderators, please mark the heading at the beginning/top of the thread as For Sale. Thanks.

$4000 plus shipping for club members

1116 is one of the finest guitars I ever had the pleasure of playing. My gears are stripped trying to justify having it, and the Darling and the Alembicized medium-scale, Miyagi guitar. Just can't do it. Somebody here ought to though. That is an amazing guitar at a huge discount.
-
Thanks, Greg. I am really surprised that there has been no interest in this guitar. It's a fantastic instrument and if it was s couple pounds lighter I would not be selling it. I'll put it back at $4500 shipped for any one who would like to buy it, and leave it there until I come to my senses :) Thanks.
-
Still available if anyone is interested. $4500 plus shipping
-
In case somebody's not doing the math... that's a vintage Series guitar for about $3k. 😳
-
I had those custom made, ebony and gold wire, they cost $75 each. I think I will probably leave them on the guitar. I may have some extras if you are interested.
How many extra do you have?

I have since used the extra knobs I had for other instruments.

Sold pending final payment.

So long, 78-1116. A mighty fine guitar, it was. 😎
