Gorgeous!
I call that "ripple" maple, but I think technically it's quilted, not flamed.
Soundbites anywhere?
-
Point taken. Text will be corrected! Sorry but do not know about any sounbite.

If you mean you don't understand the term: soundbites means recording(s). IOW, let's hear the darn thing

I did understand that soundbites, means recording, but I do not have or know about any recordings. Sorry. Tonnie

Many sellers do this and all of us appreciate it.

That makes 7, count 'em 7, 7 stringers for sale here.
Someone liked their 7 stringers.
I wouldn't get too worked up about some of his posts, sounds like he's losing a bit in the language translation.
I'd say Tonnie, make sure you know what your trying say in English to avoid ruffling some feathers ( if you don't know what that means, look it up)
That said, the forum originates from Denmark

It's a potential treasure trove for sure! If they were in our neck of the woods, I'd be all over them on the assumption that I could love at least one or three.
I greatly admire your equanimity, 'moon! There's no way I can accept that any of the snark here is because of a language barrier. "I only want to sell this guitar, not become a recording artist" [yes, I paraphrased] is a pretty sophisticated response for someone unfamiliar with idiomatic English.
Oh well - no harm, no foul.
[PS - yes, there's another staple under the foot of the Princeton.]

Yeah, that's certainly no way to ingratiate yourself to a potential buyer, your 'honey/vinegar' comparison is always the best way to go as a seller and is just a good motto to have in life.
I must have missed the post where he said he inherited them. The invitation to play them in person is a good sign that they actually belong to him rather than just blindly sending $ to a stranger but I strongly suggest potential buyers to procede w caution.
And I still say the forum should go back to the 50 post minimum before you can sell to weed out at least a chunk of scammers and people that register just to make a sale and disappear
ps. that fixed baffle and the 3 per side staples (which is how many a Princeton got as opposed to the bigger amps judging by my own collection) really has me thinking it's the orig cab/tolex but not 100% certain w out seeing it in person.

Gotta be! The seller did say in an earlier post that he has a lot of sevens, and many of those now posted look like wonderful guitars.
With 6 sevens in my rack, my needs are narrow and well defined. I love all of mine and would only bring in a new one to replace one of them. I still want a smaller (15" or thin 16") laminated archtop and would replace one of my solid bodies if I found one I like at a reasonable cost.
I also don't consider buying anything that I can't see and play myself and whose condition and descriptive data I can verify, unless the seller is either known to me or highly and widely reputable. But the currently posted ones are all cool, and any could be a real find for someone willing to take a chance or able to go see them.
