http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=41439&item=7329231846&rd=1 This thing is hammered. The TRC, pickguards are all cracked as well, which to me greatly reduces its value even as a parts guitar. Unless you have a gutted late '70s RIC and you want the electronics and Grovers, I have no idea why in God's name you'd spend $500+ on this. It's a basket case. | ||

I saw that too! That is one very sad Ric. Looks like it got run over by a car! | ||

Howard quit bidding against me! Must... have... burgundy.... Bob: Almost without question, a compulsive and relentless destruction of a prized possession. Can you spell Fatal Attraction? | ||

It's painful to think about what this guitar went through. Maybe a Pete Townshend impression? Man, that burgundy is nice... | ||

I suppose the TRC and the R tailpiece are worth $400?! | ||

OK Peter, it's all yours! If only it could speak - I'm sure we would all be in tears!! Maybe the original owner was trying to teach his pet gorilla how to play.  | ||

Or perhaps it was a case of Gorilla my dreams Howard. | ||

Where do people come off with these prices. $510 and the reserve was not met. Unless you do all the work yourself, which you'd have to at this price, you would pay $500 or so to a luthier to fix it, and it will always be worth quite a bit under a non-restored one would sell for. To me, it is worth $250 or so, mainly for the parts, or to go along with $500 in repairs, regardless of who did the work. | ||

I should add, I still wouldn'd pay $250! |
