You know, arts grants for Luthiers, that sort of thing. :)

Reserve not met! It's relisted! That means you all still have time to buy me a new 12 string!

Just saw that. The present bid is $100. So, what is the reserve? I don't know squat about auctions. Is a reserve not public?

The high bid on the previous auction (that closed earlier tonight) was $2,025.00 and the reserve wasn't met when the auction closed. So the reserve is more than that.

If it weren't, Nick would be a fool. And he isn't. He's not only a master craftsman, he is rivaled only by Kendall and myself as a reservoir of filthy limericks.

I have heard Kendall get raunchy in his cups but never Nick. Somthing to look forward to.
Re: Nick's instruments - he showed up at a house concert or song circle here with seven instruments. I remember a guitar, and a fiddle (?). We had several out of towners without instruments. He brought them for them to play.
He left with none. They were all purchased on the spot. Those without cash were trusted to send it later.
Kendall will remember the details better than I.
Plus Nick is a genuinely charming and talented man.
Hope his guitar sells. Hope he continues to produce whatever he chooses to.

There are 3 + hour left bidding on it. The current high bid is $610.00. Needless to say, the reserve hasn't been met. I do hope SOMEBODY wins it!

If I didn't already own an Apollonio 12 string, I certainly would!

This remarkable 12 string is still available - Kendall or I can put you in touch with Nick. Nick also has a few other higher end "Deluxe" instruments for immediate sale -among them a gorgeous rosewood 6 and a very unusual 6 string "guittar" shape which really deserves a good home - it's a powerful instrument.

Nick also tells me he's now taking orders for both the Deluxe and budget guitars, bouzoukis and citterns to be built over the winter. The budget models are the same good craftsmanship, but without the fancier woods, intricate inlay or other bells and whistles. The sound and playability are still exceptional - far better than, say, a Martin or Taylor. Right now is a really good time to order one of these - I don't think his prices will be any better than they are right now, for high end or budget.

PM me and I can put you in touch with Nick.

Given the fact that I already own 3 absolutely wonderful guitars, I remind myself there's no reason at all to buy another one, and I'm sticking to that. I may sell one of those 3 as well, because 2 is all I actually need.

I could have easily ended up with 15 or 20 guitars by now if I didn't think that way...and I know people who have done just that!

Be that as it may, I know Nick's guitars are great, so I hope the 12 goes to someone who appreciates it to the max.
