My Coco/Redwood is up for grabs, but a little more than what you're looking to spend ... Unless you wanted to?

I know you were really looking to play something first, but for the price (it it looks like PB's Old Lady!) you might want a heads up

The amazaque, or a different one, is up on Gumtree as well in case you hadn't seen it recently

cowmoo

Thanks B,man...i'll check in the morning.... The amazaque was nice and a great price but i'm sure he sold it before i could get there, and also went from offers to firm between first contact and last, so it kind of put me off dealing with him.

cowmoo

Hmm. chances are, it could be the same one, same area, but they've added £700 onto the price, so out of principal I'm not going to entertain that one. Thanks again though

Bluesman1989

At that price I'd hurry on this one

cowmoo

messaged him, Thank you!!

cowmoo

BTW the amazeque O35c is the same guitar, and is up at an enormous profit!

cowmoo

already gone

Bluesman1989

Oh, I thought it a little strange, but the back looked different in the pics ... From memory anyway

Can't say I'm surprised at the 32 going so quick ... Had the same experience when I was shopping around a year or 2 ago when I saw an F32 up for £900 (yes £900!!!!!) I wasn't sure on brand or body shape/size at the time but phoned him pretty quickly anyway ... Alas ...

I'm assuming the old Oc Rudi has is no good for you then?

cowmoo

Sorry which Oc is that? I've looked at so many now!!  BUT. I placed an ad on gumtree and a lad way up north has an 025c for less than 1500....it's abit worn on the front from thumbpicks or something but it looks ok otherwise...2002 model.

cowmoo

The Damien Rice model....sorry only just seen the link, (doesn't show on my phone) looks nice, is that Japanese built and an eighties model?

cowmoo

Cash still waiting

Just missed a late model O32c on Adverts for 2k euro/£1500  

Have been offered an O25c from early 00's for less, but the top is well scuffed up.

 Are the tops on Lowdens easy enough to refinish?

I can't do that Gomm stuff, i'm a Nick Harper, RT kinda guy!  

If so you may get on better with an F model. I've owned many Lowdens over the years and the O model is a bit of a handful tbh, and to my ears the F and S models sound sweeter and are beautiful singer-songwriter guitars.

cowmoo

I've played Nicks o23, love the size, felt very familiar and comfortable, but i've always played jumbos and big Gretsch guitars! Food for thought though. Cheers
