[davebz]

I've been really wanting a sonex lately,with the dirty fingers.
man that want alot of money for one these days.
I can't bring myself to spend that much on a sonex.
the last one I was watching on ebay, a custom.
was in pretty rough shape went for $588.00

$588 isn't that bad a price for one.

They're not my thing, and yes I have played them.
I knew someone years ago who had one and loved it and I've seen them since then.

For me it's the feel of the neck and the overall feel of the body to a lesser degree, (Which is only how I feel--may not be your opinion) but if you like them--I don't think $588 is such a bad price.

A friend of mine had one back in the 80's I don't remember which model it was .
that thing sounded pretty good.
I haven't played one since then,but for that price I'd just buy a new guitar.
does'nt seem worth the price to me.

Well that's your answer--if it doesn't seem worth it, don't buy it.

I wouldn't buy it either, but that's because there are guitars I'd like more if I had that money (or more) to spend on a guitar.

I have never seen a yellow one.

Is that original?


Coolness.

I had a black one about 20 years ago.

I have never seen a yellow one.

The one I played and considered in the local Mom & Pop was yellow. That's the only reason I picked it up.

I liked it, I just couldn't explain it to myself. And it was a LOT more than $588.
