Expert opinions requested

Post by doctorwho »

There is a 230 on the Seattle craigslist that Alisha is considering as a project guitar. Some expert opinions on the nature of the problems and anticipated repairs (and costs) would be appreciated. See the post here:

All I know is a good 200 series guitar is currently out there for the same price, isn't it? The blue one?

Yeah...but I've been looking for a project and would like to see him go much lower if possible.

Right on. Good luck - 500 seems way too much.

Considering all the work it will need, 500 is way optimistic. I'd go maybe $225-250, but it's anyone's guess where the seller's head is at on price negotiations...
