This one is almost as bad as a Rickenfaker:

It would be nice if the electronics were included. 2 grand is a hefty pricetag.

I meant pickups, not electronics. It's stated that electronics do come with it and the pickups do not, but the pickups are pictured, and no pots. It would be a beautiful guitar, once it's all put together. Maybe the buyer could talk the 2 grand price down, due to the fact of having to purchase new parts.
Does anyone know what the Bluebook value of a 1960 Capri is, in the condition this one is in? (Maybe this question should be answered in Ric Appraisals.)

Umm...that's my guitar; it's NOT a ripoff! Fair examples are upwards of $3k, clean examples upwards of $4k. Go find one!

The $2k price is for Buy It Now. The reserve is less than that.

Thanks for your input!

My input is that it can't possibly be a ripoff. You're describing it in great detail and you are not forcing anyone to bid on it. The market will determine if your price is reasonable, but whoever buys it will know exactly what he's getting.

Relisted, as suggested, at a lower price!

Seems very reasonable to me.

I am open for trades on this (maybe a Ric bass?), but would prefer cash. Best offer over $1k. Write me at [email protected] or post here if interested.
