The Shark Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I'm looking for a really good Monaco Elite in excellent to near-mint condition. Must have a killer top and be under nine pounds. I'll pay a premium for the right guitar. I love the translucent red ones. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustKid Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Was planning to sell mine. Had 5 of them and kept this one for last - best player to my opinion. New condition, sunburst color, tight flame maple top. And not asking for an arm and the leg. I am a Cali person, as many guys noticed. Let me know if interested.

Gabe Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 23 minutes ago, gtrdaddy said: It is one of only three MONELs made with a Florentine cutout. They were a custom order for Bob Willcutt. That guitar is awesome. I know because I'm the original owner :-) It certainly looks like a great guitar, and the f-hole adds to the value (as it probably givers weight relief also). However, an f-hole is something else as a Florentine cutout, I thought a Florentine cutout is a cutaway as in a Gibson L-175, with the sharp edge as opposed to the soft edge of an L-5, which is called Venetian cutaway, or am I wrong?

There is one more floating around somewhere in Germany. I nearly bought it, but missed it, then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Shark Posted October 9, 2017 Author Share Posted October 9, 2017 I just wanted to thank Greg publicly for a great deal all the way around. The guitar is better than described and the "exemplary" example I was looking for. Sounds fantastic with the Rio Grande pickups too, but I already knew it would. Very underrated pickups.
