mosquito3 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 There are 2 Moderne's for sale here in Italy (an '82 and an '83). I would have bought one if only the prices weren't so high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Rose Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I've been noticing that there are no 82 moderne's for sale anymore anywhere? Anyone have any idea why? I just bought one on eBay for a very reasonable $4200 with shipping. It's Mint Mint Mint. Serial F 081. It's natural Korina. I've been looking for three years and finally pulled the trigger. The newest re-issue with the pointy headstock has dropped the market a bit. The guy that sold mine was pretty upset he didn't set a high reserve. Don't believe the idea that only 143 were made. If you read the interview with Tim Shaw (these came with Shaws) he said the numbering system was A XXX B XXX all the way to H XXX. Shaw said, "I think each group got 100 guitars." That means there are 800 plus the prototypes with a different numbering system. Edit- after further research and consultation with the real expert on this model, 150 is about the number made. End edit. They turn up on eBay and if you do a nationwide search on Craigs List you see them from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostboy Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 I don't know how many were made but I paid 5000 for mine and it is perfect. Even has the original bill of sale and factory checklist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
