Schu Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 I am wondering if anyone (Jim) knows why this label doesnt fit the finish being described by the seller? Seller says that they are FOR SURE Brazilian rosewood... BR is birch raw and RL is rosewood, is that not correct? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budman Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 these have been on here before and Andy @ HDBRbuilder said it does match and it is Brazilion Rosewood and the G stands for ( i forget ) Gloss maybe and L for lacquer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEH Synergy Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 I saw those on Phoenix Craigslist for 6500. Tempting if they are real. Haven't seen another pair like em for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still might be slightly over priced if indeed real... if they can be confirmed as factory I bet he find an instant buyer at around 5000$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEH Synergy Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 For 5k I would agree and if they were near me for that price, I would buy them. That finish is one of the nicest I have seen and he claims they are near immaculate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budman Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 i believe he wanted 12 G's at one time or maybe 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEH Synergy Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Thanks. I had forgotten about that awesome thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Those are nice looking! Khorns that look like that (or that lovely Macassar Ebony) almost make me regret having Jubilee's! But....since I've never been able to acquire a pair with a wild finish, I'll keep what I have. I did tell the wife once, if I ever saw some Ebony's.... we might have another squabble between us.

Schu Posted October 14, 2018 Author Share Posted October 14, 2018 A true ebony veneer la scalas or Klipschorn would be spectacular... It's one of my favorite woods... from fingerboards and bridges of Martin guitars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEH Synergy Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Buy them. They have been sitting for some time now. I have seen them for an extended period of time. Throw him an offer and add them to your awesome collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khornukopia Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 I am thinking about it, but I also want other forum members to have the opportunity to get them and have the pleasure of owning some very beautiful Klipsch speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEH Synergy Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 I strongly considered making him an offer several times, I just don't like to lowball and offend, so I never did since his price was sky high for some time. That and the 12+ hour round trip kept me away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
