WTB: Monaco III, Monaco Monaco, Newport, or Tally Pro

There is an miii expensive on reverb for a while, been watching it   And some newports  

no affiliation etc  just passing along

id love an miii but tbh i want a stoptail and no bigsby, fwiw    Rare as hen’s teeth   

 
I saw the MIII on Reverb…and the Newports…but I’d much rather buy here if possible. Being blown away by the Tally I bought and seeing @Camstone’s Monaco Monaco (M2?) instigated this reach out.

 
It would already be mine if it didnt have a bigsby.  
 

that said a sweet es347 would do quite nicely.  Late 80s/early 90s.  
 

back to your original thread -

An ES347 is a good quest. A certain black and gold one was my numero uno for quite a while. Of course you could pick one up for around $400 back then......😉

ETA.....I forget who, but I did trade it to someone here sometime ago.

I love the top and the ebony on that M3….what I don’t like are the pickguard holes someone drilled in and the fact that I’d have to install 3 OEM Duncan 90s in order to get the highly touted in-between sounds. But it is in the running….

I think you need a nice traditional Tokai 335. 😃

I've been on a 335 variant quest for several years. I got close on one of the new Gibson plant guitars but the neck measurements seem to be all over the place and rarely are the actual measurements disclosed ("rounded C,"  gee, thanks...). 

One of the reasons I follow @currypowder on Reverb is he (you) are always great to disclose the weight and neck measurement. 

I agree that M3 is fantastic, but like @Jakeboy, the screw holes and humbuckers kill it for me.

I try, but sometimes I forget, or list measurements in a way that someone doesn't appreciate. In fact, one time I listed some neck dimensions in a way that a looker didn't like. You would have thought that I came to his house, busted his door, screwed his wife and pissed on his dog. Just an absolute tool of a pompous know it all. No need to get into details, just quite a bit over the top reaction for a minor discrepancy.

At least you didn’t screw his dog and piss on his wife!
