    Default Why so cheap (I mean, whatta deal!)?

    The ad does not mention any defects and claims full originality, 'cept the scratchguard...comes with OHSC. Yes, I only paid this much for my F4, but mine has a few inequities and was purchased a few years back...most I see listed are $6-7k these days...hell, I see F2s listed for this much or more. If this one is any good, somebody oughta get on it like a bum on a baloney sandwich!

    What things are listed at and what they sell for are two different animals.

    repaired crack in the head stock,
    missing pick guard
    is a consignment
    pre 20's

    it's priced to move and Elderly has a great reputation.
    could be a nice snag.

    It probably did go sooner, but it took a while for Elderly to close the ad.
