I have one on order from Guitar Trader - $219/delivered for the sunburst finish.

It's due in late next week. I've already got some goods and mods waiting - new unbleached cow bone nut, Duncan Broadcaster bridge pup, L280TN neck pup, bakelite pickguard. Might need a level and crown, we'll see. Ditto's for the pots, 3-way and jack - if they ain't up to snuff, out with'em and in with good ones (CTS, CRL, OAK, GCE, etc.). Not sure about the tuners, too - might hafta change'm for Gotoh SG38's. Ditto for the 6 saddle bridge. Heck , if I didn't already have everything but the bakelite pickguard, I wooda went the partscaster route. FWIW, those agathis (South Pacific pine) bodies can be quite nice. I'll probably do a bumhucker rout for the neck and middle pickup (unsused, though), and a horn lightening hole or two. Ain't all dis stuff fun?

I played a used vintage white one about a year ago, and should have bought it! I slept on it and it sold that same nite!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate it when that happens. It was cheap, beautiful, and it sounded perfect. Oh well such is life.

Do they actually have some quality to them now?
