in this market....with mods like a Bigsby, that's a $1800 instrument. So...not terribly overpriced, I guess.
Very cool guitar (great color!) but when you add shipping, and if you want a proper Rickenbacker case, you're pretty much at or above the going rate on these in original condition. I was also a little nervous about the dark pictures and lack of details from the seller.
I guess it comes down to if you consider the Bigsby a mod that lowers the value or a great addition that's perfect for your style of playing.
I was watching this one too, but as coincidental as it seems after Collins' post, I was out after it hit $1800.00.
Someone got a super cool guitar here though, regardless.
