burningyen Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 I guess the COA finally answers the centuries-old flame-top-Monaco-vs.-SuperPro-with-f-holes philosophical debate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it does and it doesn't. First, there is no debate. Monacos came with spruce tops. Monaco SuperPros came with maple. But even a SuperPro with an "Ultimate" top would have it listed in the COA, just like any other guitar with that option. The guitar in the ad is a hybrid. You could call it a Monaco with maple and no Bigsby, or you could call it a SuperPro with F-holes. Either way, I know I want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
django49 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 My Goldtop falls into that same "Which is it?" category. I DO know it is a great guitar....Something that the Korina body and neck, plus the upgraded pickups play a part in. And I consider it a SuperPro.

Which would describe most of your arsenal. Do you even own anything off the rack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donner Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 This would be my favourite „Want!“-guitar. Look at the fretboard with purfling. Look at those bound f-holes. Look at the carved back. I´m floored. And it´s a Monaco that belongs to be in M. Thank god for CITES, otherwise I could be damn close to be making something very silly....

I think it was the price that kept me from doing something silly. Congratulations to whomever snagged it. It is a beauty, for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donner Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 This would have been worth its 3 grands, what I guess it went for. At least for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I resemble that remark. Though not nearly as much as I used to. And yet another shipped out this morning. Actually, several things really are off the rack "stock" models, such as the blonde Newport. Same for the remaining Talladega, Krautster II, TSB Reitbergen, Junico, Ibanez GB-10 and a few others. Not that that diminishes them in any way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.bandini Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 That's quite a guitar, all right. I'm glad I got to this party too late to consider buying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
