Well, I just looked at the ad. It's for the Spc. Faded Dbl. cut right? I do think the price is a bit high. Not bad, but a little high. People shop the net to get stellar deals, and that particular guitar isn't really an "in demand" piece. I garuntee, by the time I bought that guitar from you, and paid for shipping, I could get the same deal at the local GC if I hammered 'em a little, and that would be for a brand new one. I realize yours is in minty shape, but used is still used, you dig what I'm saying? If I were in the market for one of those, (which I'm not, I have a '57 reissue Special already), I would be looking to pay about $425-$450 and no more than $30 shipping.

Just my 2 sense, but the reason I generally buy used, is because things are way cheaper.

Again, not telling you what to do with your stuff, just what I think.
