Groove Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Just noticed an Arlo Guthrie that is way under priced with no-bids on Ebay. Man I wish I had some extra cash! http://cgi.ebay.com/Gibson-Arlo-Guthrie-guitar-NEVER-PLAYED_W0QQitemZ290283978657QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGuitar?hash=item290283978657&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2|65%3A1|39%3A1|240%3A1318 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onewilyfool Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 What is the nut width on that Arlo? I think it is a very narrow nut right??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAMELEYE Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Narrower than Gibson's usual 1.72, I think. Have played a few at various dealers and they leave me asking ... where's the tone? Want a small Gibson, check out the Robert Johnson L-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfden1 Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 I've played a couple in a local mom & pop and have not been impressed. Ymmv, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modac Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Seriously...you can get a new Blue Ridge parlor (0-sized) 12 fret slothead for significantly less money, which will make that thing sound like the overpriced toy it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponty Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 I played one of these in Mandolin Bros. a few years ago. I too wasnt that impressed, especially at the 2000 grand mark! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groove Posted December 23, 2008 Author Share Posted December 23, 2008 Interesting, I've never seen one of these live, but thought they looked cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitom Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 It's hard to sell a guitar with that little information and only one picture. That's my reason for not bidding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maninblack Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 I'm with Guitom. Seems more than a little questionable. I've seen this come up before with that same picture. I asked for more pictures and got no response. I keep an eye open for these Arlo models. They had one at FQMS that was pretty decent sounding - not unlike a Robert Johnson. Seemed like it could have blossomed with time. I'd like to get the little whipper one to go with daddy's Guthrie SJ and mommy's Guthrie 000-18. He's only 9 months so I guess I have a little time.
