Guest HRB853370 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Very beatiful! Single pickup too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveHoffman Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I dunno, those guys charge top dollar for everything. You could find something just as nice for less I think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredZepp Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Elderly is certainly a reputable dealer and well liked by many players. This being a one pickup 575 makes it more of a specialty instrument, designed for those wanting the tone that comes with that design. Perhaps it helps the tone acoustically, but less variety on the electric tone options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectrum13 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Spruce top and Mahagony B&S in a 16 inch would give it some punch. Custom features like the bound headstock and fingerboard give it something extra. Should sound and play great at a fair price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredZepp Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I bet that it's a blast to play acoustically.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hfan Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Nice. Spruce top and a stinger. I believe Bulldog has a 575 Custom for sale in the for sale section if you're interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sykofiddle Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Single pickup, wood bridge/saddle, Heritage...all adds up to the best jazz box you can find for the money. Hands down. But if that's not your bag, the warm/fat tone could be limiting. On the other hand, if you're in the market for such sounds, I don't think you can do better.

Maybe...but in this economy, I too think it is a little overpriced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sykofiddle Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Maybe...but in this economy, I too think it is a little overpriced. Yep. But then again Elderly is a large well-known retailer. I'd expect to pay $1400-$1500 for that guitar person-to-person. Add in the retail angle, asking price vs. selling price, and the gap closes - particularly if the guitar appeals to you.
