Watch out! Narrow headstock! Only buy it, if it has a C5xxxxx or C6xxxxx serial number!

DO NOT BUY AN S SERIAL NUMBER!

This price is very high! You can have an AS120 for the same amount of money!

thank you Art, and Ginger. I appolize for my ignorance, but, what's the story Ginger about the narrow headstocks? Is this just true on 120's only? What about as-80's?
Thanks, Mark

Mark C.,
I'm aware of your auction, in fact i've already subitted a few questions to you the other day about your 120, i.e. ..the plastic still on the truss-rod cover.
thanks, Mark

Ginger, what is the american money on this one. If its Cort, it's what I'm in the market for. I would prefer natural finish or anything other than S/B or V/B. I sold all my 80's and now wish I hadn't after listening to it on the Lexicon recording. The block inlays do make a difference in the sound when recording digital believe it or not. Thanks Mike

Mike,
In dollars it's too much at the moment.
600 euros is about 780 dollars.
You'd better buy within your own currency system until we're 1:1 again.

The reverse transactions are more interesting: selling to Europe and buying from USA.



Markownly,
Narrow headstocks are either:
'94/spring'95 made by Samick with non-waxpotted SUPER FIFTY pickups, that give microphonic feedback,
or:
end of spring (MAY) '95-'96 made by Cort with decent wax-potted SUPER 58's. So you have 16 bad months and 20 good ones with narrow headstocks.

If you bought a Samick, there is a thread by Hazy with a "z" about waxpotting pickups in a deep fryer. The other solution is changing the pickups for Super 58's.


Ginger
