Wow! Has this been a long time coming or what?

With Ilan, all together now,,,,,,HHHEEEYYYYYY JAAARRRREEED!

I hope Jared knows someone in Germany or Austria, as those are the only places it will ship to.

Hey! I've been looking for one of those, too! However, this one looks pretty used; big wear mark on the front from player's thumb, buckle rash. I'll bet the gold is worn off in places, too.

This is an example of the first Cheyenne II (4004Cii). You might even dub it a Cheyenne I-1/2. Notice the back looks like a Cheyenne I ? Shortly (time frame yet to be established) after this, they went to the maple/walnut/maple sandwich for the Cii as it is now. I've not seen many of this type, only a couple on eBay over the past five years (that I've been watching), and that prototype at the RIC museum (which has a maple fretboard -- maybe that was a Cheyenne I-1/4 ? ) Perhaps the quilted front didn't generate orders, or fell into disfavor, or maybe was just too hard to get.

Paul W. could do wonders with it.

I wonder if that mark in the front could be treated to be less noticeable. It looks nice even with the wear mark. Too bad the seller only ships to Austria and Germany.

Anyone has Jared's contact info? email address? phone number? His last post here was 10 days ago.

To quote the man himself-
"Damn!"

Hope he turns up....

I just sent Jared an e-mail with a link to the auction.

Bump! Hey Jared!!!!!
