Minor PSA...
This isn't a huge deal, but I thought I would put this out there in case anyone is thinking about grabbing this G0.

I technically purchased this guitar a week or two ago. I looked at the less-than-stellar feedback and went ahead anyway, knowing there wasn't all that much damage that could be done given eBay's propensity to side with the buyer. The seller and I agreed on a price using the Best Offer feature and she accepted. A few days later, she contacted me to ask for additional shipping (around $100 extra). Long story short... I continually refused to give her a dime more than the deal that was already done and so she eventually cancelled the order. To be honest, it still would have been a good deal even with the extra shipping, but it was just sort of a principle thing at that point.
It has now been relisted with a similar low shipping charge (maybe $10 more than before) - not the $130 that she claimed it was going to cost.
Just wanted to let anyone who might be watching this listing know that they are likely to get hit up for extra money after the deal is done.
