[Stafford]

This Studio just sold for $1699??? Does this accurately reflex current market value? I'm I missing something about this guitar? Ya it's in great shape but $1699 USD? Please advise.

That's an insanely nice top. Non-original knobs, though. Still, that's miles high, IMO.

That's one of our guys here. He bought my Special FM for a "good guy" price, and promptly sold it on Evilbay for 1K.

Take nice pics, lay on the hyperbole - it can work. Plus, they made some guitars with tops that push the right buttons, no?

Not seeing the photos from this auction on my computer for some reason, though I can see anything else on FeeBay without a problem. Linky on this string leads to ebay.ca, tried ebay.com, still no go.

Does it accurately reflect current market value? HELL no. Except maybe in my dreams!

I see it now. It's nice. But not $1700 nice. There might have been a time LONG ago, when eye candy would weaken my resolve in buying and budgeting, but not anymore.

Wish I could sell mine for that much. Just sayin'...............................

Well, with shipping only $123.35, how can you miss?

I didn't even bother to look THAT far ahead...the main price was enough for me.

way high for a "studio" maybe high for a "studio custom"

especially for what newports are bringin'

my opinion is worth what you payed for it

[Steve Haynie]

One way to look at it is that if that guitar was still in production, what would you pay for it new? If someone wanted that guitar enough to pay the asking price, he got what he wanted at a price he certainly could have refused to pay. Studios definitely sell for less. Maybe THAT Studio had a special attraction. The top is definitely nice.
