The Artist korina w OHSC I have been watching for awhile and the seller keeps re-posting with no takers for 4 months. Possible scam, but IMHO worth investigating.

The Monaco is beautiful! Artist, too much $

I don't need another MonEl. Do I? Wonder if they'll ship. That's a smokin deal.

The Artist should be worth that, and more, but would probably move right away for $500 less. I still want it.

What is the consensus on these Monaco elites? Is it something really special? Ebony fretboard?

I love my Monaco Elite with an Ebony board and I paid a few hundred more than this one.

Interesting seeing what the market is doing, that Monaco has been listed since at least last summer in a city the size of Chicago.

This one appears to be rosewood? Both were available?
