  • A purchase on a whim

    This was the result of a crappy craigslist ad that had poor information. After 2 weeks of trying to contact the guy I all but gave up. After hearing his description and explanation of what the guitar was I expected a Focus that needed work. I thought well I could clean it up and have a beater guitar....Ill just be honest that I plan to flip this since I have no jobby and the family needs christmas presents. Suffice to say it is the cleanest example of a Pacer DLX I have ever seen

    Only a few small nicks in the headstock..The body is near flawless minus one small ding.
    I need a cavity cover
    Oh and Vass can you get some more pics of that swan. Maybe some that dont look like they were taken with a 1972 Kodak Disk Camera

        I really want something with a graphic on it or money for the families christmas, I couldnt resist though if it stays great if it goes thats great too.

              A friend of mine had the very same guitar way back at college (late 80s)

              I had sooo much envy for it at the time.. brings back some great memories.

              Great find bro!

                I have the focus version of that except mine has the beak headstock. They're great guitars. I was going to try to flip mine as well, but I couldn't bring myself to doing it after playing it for a while.

                      No...I like the Red/Blue production model but I have no interest in the other two and Joel wants to sell them as a group. Did they move?

                        I dont know I was the first to contact him and I like you just wanted the one the others are of no interest to me. I offered 2500 for the one he passed

                            What? The family wanted a Rand! Every family would if they got a chance to play one!

                              Racer I have since started day trading and working for a group of guys doing auto restoration here. I just happened to fall into it. Or else I wouldnt have bought the 6 axes i snagged this past week. I actually doubled my income so as of now all is well.
