And they put this in huge red letters towards the bottom of their ad:
WE WON'T BE BEATEN ON PRICE!

It is only overpriced by about $1500 USD.

Firglo? Is that the new color of 2006? We already have mapleglo - I'd welcome the addition of Firglo - maybe that's why it's so pricey... What will Ric produce next? poplarglo? oakglo? Maybe a whole fruit tree line - Appleglo, Cherryglo, Peachglo?!? I can't wait! Sign me up for 12 4003's!

What a moran....

No, the standard of British humour is generally high, thank you very much.

"Greetings.

It being brand new - why is there truss rod backprint damage?

Fireglo v63s are rare, but seldom scarce.

The price doesn't justify the instrument.

I'd consider it if it were lower - as would many others, and I mean *many* others.

Cheers."

Lets see what he says.

Hey Victor...

The pinnacle of British humour! Image

A horse walks into a pub, the landlord says "Hey there! Why the long face?"

That one has been listed at least five times.
It´s really overpriced even on this side of the pond. I ordered one just like it from Japan and it will cost about half of that price with shipping etc to Sweden. It´s in the air right now...

In my experience it is the german sense of humor that is somewhat lacking. I have meet very few humorless brits though.

Yes, I wish that Music Ground would just give it up already. They have been flogging that bass at that stupid price for nearly a month.

I always thought "Monty Python's search for the Holy Grail" was the pinnacle of British humour...
