I have two guitars for sale – if anyone is interested drop me a line. I've got photos available on the Lowden currently and I'll have some photos of the Martin in a few days.

The first one is a Lowden 12 string. It was built sometime in the 80's. I'm the second owner. It has Ovenkol back and sides with a cedar top. The previous owner played a lot of slide guitar so there are a few dings in the top but none of them seem visible from three feet away. The only issue I'll need to mention is a blemish in the finish. If you look at the photos you'll see it on the side of the guitar at the lower bout. At first it looks like a crack but it isn't. The best way I can describe it is as a wrinkle in the finish. I've only seen two other Lowden 12 strings before.

Beautiful woods, gold hardware, original hardshell case. It's the nicest 12 string I've ever played. But I currently own 2 twelve strings and that's one two many. The other one is an old Gibson B-45-12 that has a lot of family history so I feel compelled to keep it. But the Lowden is easily the better guitar.

The second one is a 1999 Martin OM-28V. It's in excellent shape – as close to showroom new as you're going to find. Indian Rosewood back and sides with a standard spruce top. Original hardshell case. I'm the original owner – I bought it from Mandolin Bros and it's the nicest OM-28V I've played. But I also own a Collings OM and I've decided to keep that one instead.

These items and a Weber Bridger mandolin are being sold so that I can finance the purchase of a mandola.

Feel free to PM me with any questions you might have. Thanks

You'll have to send me your e-mail address for the photos. I'm a low tech kind of guy. I'd like to get a grand for the Lowden and 1700 for the Martin. I might ask for more at other locations but I'd settle for less from another Mudcatter.

Would you mind letting us have your address along with a list of times when you are likely to be out of the house? Thank you.

On the other hand...Texas...Never mind.

Ft. Worth to Houstin is hundreds of miles.

Remember, Texas is larger than France. It's 1.25 times the size of France, to be more precise.
