So there is a guy in Sault Ste. Marie who is selling same guitar that I have.

http://saultstemarie.kijiji.ca/c-buy-an ... Z379422947

Is it just me, or is this person lying through his teeth? I mean really, would anyone actually pay $1800 for this guitar. Even at $700 this guitar is almost priced at 2 1/2 times what it's worth. Any comments? This one is the bolts on next version.

What do you think this guitar should be worth?

Well, there's no way I would pay anything more than $200-300 for this guitar... but this fellow is welcome to try asking 8 bills for it. :? Someone might think it's worth that much, or be able to haggle him down to a lower price.

I don't see him lying about it in the description. His description is factual about the specs of the guitar and he doesn't make any other claims (has the ad description changed since you first saw it?).

Yeah, I saw that one. Made me larf!
Nice instrument but not worth $800, even to a hard core ED fan. :roll:
