My name is Lari and I'm a kijiji whore.
Came across an ad this morning and was preparing a 'kijiji alert' thread.
As I was typing the info, I thought, 'hmm, it's only a hour away'.

I don't want 6 acoustics. Managed to get down to two, three years ago
(which is all I want), but, the deals keep popping out every now n' then.

Anyhoo ..
'02 Norman Encore B20 CW Presys (player's grade) with Tric case,
stand, capo and 10 watt practice amp at an 'I can't pass that up!' price.
It's a mess. Looks like the owner never washed his hands.

Nice! Sounds good?

Gonna clean it up I take it?

Nice! Sounds good?

Not bad considering how corroded and dead the strings are.
The electronics work well too.

Gonna clean it up I take it?

Oh yeah.
Intonation is spot on.
I'll also file a bit off of the nut and saddle for a little better action.

Maybe knock back a six pack and scallop the braces too...lol

Congrats!

Good luck on the DNA removal.

After you slather it with Purell you'll have to re-oil the fretboard

I forgot to mention the soft leather Levi's strap.

Doode those straps are nice. I always get as much parafanelia as I can with my scores.

What kind of case does it have?
And strap
And the mic stand
The mic has a cable right
How's the amp that comes with it. ????

Are the picks hard or soft
Is it a good capo? I need a good capo.

Amazing what comes with!!!!

 

[laristotle]

What kind of case does it have?

Tric case with broken hinges. I emailed Godin about getting replacements.

And strap

Soft leather Levi's

And the mic stand

Hercules (short) guitar stand

How's the amp that comes with it. ????

Spectrum AIL10. It works. I haven't really tried it yet.

Are the picks hard or soft

Two credit card picks, cut with one of those 'pick cutters'.

Is it a good capo? I need a good capo.

Trigger capo and an elastic band wrap around style.
You can have the elastic one if you wish.

 

[Lord-Humongous]

That's a great guitar! Congrats. And I hope you can sort out the Tric case, those are excellent cases in my opinion.

Sweet Larry.

I was sharing my "script" for when I'm deal hunting.

Cleaned 'er up this morning.
The fretboard was horrendous!
I usually start with guitar cleaner/polish and a toothbrush.
It was the blackest that it's ever been after use.
Then did a fretdressing and clean again.
Then came the Gorgomyte.
It too turned black.

Filed down the nut and saddle a touch.
I have to do a c-hair more.

Some pics of the imperfections, including a crack by the edge.
I'll get full pics some other day.
