Good score! I'm usually not one for 650s, but the turquoise finish with natural neck on these is so cool - like the old '50s combos.

Lucky you, Mitch! Great color and trim. Let us see more trophy shots when you get it.

Thanks very much everybody.I am always dug the "Retro-Modern" look of the Atlantis and I don't think I have seen alot of them on Ebay so I figured I'd take the plunge.After I bought it and paid for it the seller sent me this email:

"Hi thanks for buying.

I had this one e-mail and it said-Hi. Just thought I'd let you know that this isn't a 650 Dakota. This model is called 650 Atlantis.

Just wanted to make sure you wanted this guitar yet.

Looked it up on google and it says alantis iis discontinued- Has some very good write up
on it. they really like it . I do not know -might be a guitar with a good value

please advise if you still want it, I can return paypal.

Might worth more than a dakota. I do not know much about these things

thanks"

Uuuhh-errrr, 8-Sided, how long have you had that TV? {:=) Again, props to you on your new score --- she's a beaut and you stole it from that eBay seller. Bad boy!
Late.....Goofyfoot.

Dang!

If'n I woulda seen it, I woulda bought it.

Ooh,then I'm lucky I saw it 1st

Sweet!

Thanks Ken! There is another 650A Atlantis on ebay. I thought it is interesting that both this one and mine were made in 2000 and both are from sellers in Ohio.

If you're looking for a Tele, and are open to new ideas... There's a guitar called the Squire Vintage Classic 50's telecaster. It has a pine body (like the original) and all the gear heads on the Gear Page that are usually quite snobby with their gear are just gushing over these $300 guitars! Apparently the neck pickup could be better, but the fit and finish/bridge pickup/playablity is amazing for the price!
