This has a pretty good claim:

I hadn't known I wanted this guitar and wasn't aware it existed, but when I saw this ad earlier this week I decided to act quickly. The guitar arrived safely this evening and is in brand new condition. Dave called it "special." It sure is, and is equally beautiful. Immaculate is also an apt description, and Dave's handling of the entire process sets the standard for prompt professionalism. New strings, no fingerprints, nothing other than a perfect (ok, special) guitar. It arrived this evening packed beautifully in a box-within-a box, cushioned to withstand the most careless baggage handler at any airport or on any truck, or any rainstorm between here and there. If you are wondering whether his other descriptions are accurate, stop. Everything with this guitar is "as described," including the first fret inlay, which doesn't bother me a bit - sorry Chris. I couldn't be more pleased with every aspect of this transaction or with the guitar. Thanks Dave. Best, Bill

Will purchase if still available. PM incoming.

I was thinking about it, but alas.

Very cool, Rex. Those are both spectacular.

I'm sorry to hear this sad news. Johnny's posts were always entertaining, and his advice sound. I have speakers he recommended, and have missed reading his posts for several years. He was a good part of the HFC. Someone has to say it in Johnny's memory: Ringo was a great drummer.

Very cool. My wife was impressed viewing it online, so it must have been especially fun in person.

That was really good. Thanks for the recommendation.

It is great to hear from you and see/read these stories. It looks like an incredible adventure and memory.

Totally cool, and a great deal. Wow.

Chris Matthews, That old thing? Gorgeous.

Done. A few $$ sent in appreciation of all the HFC has helped me with. Hoping to return the favors. Best, Bill M

Count on my support. Thanks to Ted and everyone else involved.

Good luck Victor! We are all pulling for you.

If true, appears to be a great deal.

Fantastic, thanks.

Is this not a better option? Which isn't to say sustain blocks are not great or better than nearly every other option, but is Mike's design more gooder? It sure looks good.

I've known Cadillac Green lust in my heart.

An order of magnitude. Yikes. Someone got taken advantage of.

Truman said that? Whoa.

Wow, what a good price! Between this, the Blue Daytona, and the T51 recently there are some great deals out there.

Very metal.

I agree that is an odd (fugly) finish and not one I would order, but someone might have.

I'm trying to envision the wall hangar.

It is a work of art by a craftsman at the top of his form. The quartersawn neck is especially fantastic.
