Rev...if it was an R0,I'd most likely match the opening bid of 10k...
I hear ya brother, I'm not discrediting the guitar, if you could buy it for the opening bid is one thing, but the BIN is another. A R0 would be better I agree. Now I cant tell by the pics but it looked to me like a fret was pulling I dunno maybe its just the pic, but he showed that particular fret for some reason, I have bad eyes anyways. And when they tell me it's 9.9 mint with slight play wear I'm suspicious anyways. No doubt it's nice, but for 12g's I can find lots of nice guitars. And in my opinion within the next few yr's the market will probably crater, maybe not, there is always a buyer for something. If I have guitars I gotta play em, thats my flaw in the guitar collecting world. I just cant look at them, mine will never be worth what I pay for them just too much damage I do to them. You know far more about the value in the market than I do brother, maybe it is worth that in the market, just not to me. My thinking is I could almost buy 3 nice R0s for that one.
