I'm beginning to think I could get more than $505 from this guitar.
Mine even has the much desired 'vintage look' option

Yours is newer and not worth as much. Besides, Willie is always on the high end of the price scale.

$510.00...

Mine's a '94 Image

So then it's worth more, no?

The fireglo's not even on Willieguitar's 360.
It's darker at the tailpiece than on the cutaway.

Reserve is set at $2000 for this unique '94 360v64

Oops, er, nope. It's worth less, because it's older.

Ow I see.
If you have any '60s Rickenbacker models I'm willing to trade 3 of them for it.
If you have '50s models make that 4

How about 33 frying pans? Or would you need 34 maybe?

Darned old guitars, all they do is gather dust and turn yellow...

My treat.
I'll send my guitar to you as soon as the pans arrived and I've made sure there is no use for them in the kitchen.

OK, 2 thousand. How much is that in American money? ;-)

Fwiw, my '92 cost me $1650 USD (plus a lot for overnight shipping, but I couldn't wait longer so it was worth it).

That means your "newer" one with a lesser amount of yellowing is worth, oh, $650 and I'll even pay shipping too. OK? ;-)

Just because I'm a nice guy, I'll even learn to live with that horrible "pinkglo" color too.
