I know that they aren't very common, but just how rare is a 2617 in one of those (AV or BS) finishes? Do these come up at all, or is it just a pipe dream hoping to find one? Honestly, I think the 2617 looks amazing in either the AV or BS finishes!   Sixvsix Username: Sixvsix Registered: 03-2002 Posted on Saturday, April 01, 2006 - 7:21 pm:    They come up now and again. Keep looking is the answer. Where are you based Rik? six   B5erik Username: B5erik Registered: 02-2006 Posted on Saturday, April 01, 2006 - 7:28 pm:    I'm in Southern California (Riverside County - Southeast of L.A. and North of San Diego). At this point I'll take the first good 2619 or 2617 in the AV finish (or a 2617 in the brownburst finish) that I can find. I've been dying to get one for so long and now that I've finally got enough extra cash to make it happen - the waiting is killing me!   Sixvsix Username: Sixvsix Registered: 03-2002 Posted on Sunday, April 02, 2006 - 8:18 pm:    Don't get buyers fever Rik. Take your time. six   B5erik Username: B5erik Registered: 02-2006 Posted on Sunday, April 02, 2006 - 10:16 pm:    Like I said, I'll take the first good 2619 or 2617 in AV or BS finish that I can find. Sooner is better than later, but it will take as long as it takes. I already picked up that AR305, and I love that guitar, but a 70's artist is what I've been looking for. (I've got enough money, barely, for one 70's model and that's it - so I've got to make it count.)
