Miy guitar, which is a 2006 model, has a VOS type finish-I'm not sure if the newer ones have that type of finish as well. If a fancy top is not a priority and you like the thinner 60's neck profile, it's a no-brainer (as far as buying one) to me.
Boy that is sad for the seller but great for the buyer.pluto":okgdipst said:No problem! As cyndicate said, they go used for about 1900-2100. I've seen some go for far less on the gearpage due to the economy. I believe someone unloaded his for 1500 last week or the week before! Needless to say, it was scooped up right away.

FYI, when ceramic capacitors first came out, they were the most expensive on the market!
