Reply With QuoteVery nice indeed. I always felt the same way about my first Beneteau. A lifesaver when I had a couple of rough years and it always gets the job done.
Good luck on your search!
Peace, Mooh.
Feedback Score 0 I just realized, after about a week of being on here, that I may find what Ive been seeking for years - Other owners of Attila Balogh guitars.
I own a 78' 400 custom by this amazing company. They built guitars in Vancouver from 77 until the early 80's (from what Ive read), and my guitar literally saved my life when i was 16.
Anyways, enough of the sniffles, I've always wanted to buy a couple more, but can barely find owners, let alone guitars for sale.
Heres a pic of mine for reference:

Solid ash body, 3 piece neckthrough, 24 fret, sd dimarzios, gold plated grover tuners, solid brass hardware. 3 phaze toggles, 2 tone 2 volume, heavy as sin, but what a bad ass playing guitar.

Feedback Score 1 (100%) The other guitarist in one of the bands I play with has an Atilla... bought it when he was 17... when he was 25, he was living with a woman who had a couple kids and they managed to snap the neck right off at the body... he couldn't afford to have it fixed, so he reattached it himself with bolts and wood screws he put through the neck pickup route... he still has the guitar with a piece of sheet metal screwed in over the neck route to hide all the crap he did "fixing" it, and technically it's still "playable", but I think the scale is whacked! It's certainly never been the same since...
Feedback Score 9 (100%) There's a guy on my local CL that is trying to sell this beauty: http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/rd...568869986.html

I've said that playing the blues is like having to be black twice. Stevie Ray Vaughan missed on both counts, but I never noticed.

Feedback Score 0 I have what is the remains sadly of one of these guitars. As the story goes, the previous owner of it found it too heavy, so they decided to cut some of the body off. That really didn't do much to lighten it because of all the hand hammered brass hardware that's on it. Someday soon I am transforming it into my own design. I would post a picture but it's just so sad to see.

I'm sorry, but $3800 for an unknown prototype by a virtually unknown Canadian luthier doesn't qualify as naive... it's bloody ridiculous. I'd be embarrassed to let everyone on the Internet know I was that flippin' stupid.
Feedback Score 9 (100%) Agreed! It's been up there a looong time.

Feedback Score 0 Yeah I contacted that guy. 1) its not a 1 of 1 prototype. I met a guy where I live a long time ago, who owned that exact model guitar, same finish and everything. We became quick friends based on our two guitars.

I know these guitars may be rare, but to throw a story like that out there, is just plain insulting!
Thanks for the replies guys. Everyday, I'm enjoying this forum more and more.
Oh, I'd consider buying broken Atitila's too, js.
