One of the very times I've read that line on the HFC where the author wasn't the legendary Dr. Fung (HamStd).

I'm sure he could help, too.

    That is a beautiful guitar. And it's got some story behind. It appeared on ebay about 15 or so years ago. Some girl was selling it, telling that she doesn't know much about it, but her boyfriend is an asshole so she decided to sell his guitar. To me it looked more like the guy split in the lines of - fuck that bitch, take everything just leave me alone. So here it was with the pictures taken with some shitty motorolla phone camera probably, really bad, washed colors and from about 10-15 ft away. Me and this other guy found it pretty much simultaneously. I even tried to look at the screen with magnifying glass, trying to identify it. It definitely looked like first Korean built with mah body, again - there was no way to tell it was curly maple, just some washed out red-ish color. But it was way too expensive for korean, but dirt cheap for USA ( let alone setneck). And there was no pictures of the back, and back then not many people even thought of setneck cali.

    So this guy I know calls me and asks me about it. Meanwhile I'm ready to pull the plug on it. I tell him everything I think about it and that I'm ready to risk it. And he says he wants to try it too. Meanwhile it's Buy it Now. I'm in States, he is in Greece...So I stepped aside and let him have at it.  He buys it and the ordeal begins. Long story short, the chick knew shit about shipping usps or fedex and such. So she ships it with some cargo company, it gets loaded on the boat and the journey begins. If I recall correctly it took about 4 months for it to get there. I've been trying to find out what's going on, on this side of the globe, and he was bombarding shipping company from his side. Finally it arrived, they made him pay some additional tax too. I believe the actual sale was in 06, but it arrived in 07. But when he sent me the pictures ( in 2007...still have them somewhere on my PC)...I knew there is no fucking chance in hell I could find another one of those...Up untill the point when Austin got one in sunburst many years later, and in a couple of years I got one too, and then another one, and another...but this one is like that itch that no matter how much you try to scratch it, it's still there. May be I should buy it :)))
     So if anyone is thinking about it, I could probably help to get a better price, given the fact that he has Best Offer option and could skip all those fees and taxes and we could skip paying state tax as well.
