Just bought a 350V63 on Musicians Friend for $924!

After putting it through its paces last night is seems to be doing fine at standard tuning. Neck is straight, nothing obvious. It would be interesting to know its history and how it ended up at MF with a "level 4 repair only" classification. It's a late 2012 model so it hasn't been around all that long. Maybe it was a demo, or an insurance loss, or even something like a factory reburb of some sort. There are no "second" stamps on it or any other indicators of rework. John Hall mentioned in another topic that such a thing doesn't even exist. Strange, but at this point I'm going to just shutup and play!

Sure, here are some more. I apologize for being a lousy photographer who can't seem to make the streaks from the flash go away...

Wow. What a deal. I've been looking for one of these for awhile. They are all over eBay but 90% of them are listed over market.

Just a postscript to this thread...

I had the guitar checked out top-to-bottom at the local Boston-area Ric dealer as part of a standard setup. I prefer the old 10-42 compressed strings so probably would have had this done anyway. Other than fixing a high fret the guitar had no issues. Total cost for the 2012 350V63 = $924 + $85, including setup and fret treatment.

It's a keeper!
