ouch I should of did more homework and came around here BEFORE pulling the trigger
Good news
1. I always wanted a 4 digit flametop and I always seem to miss them when they pop up
2. I really think this ones pretty cool and it plays and sounds great
3. I value them a lot higher than folks here so if you guys ever off load let me know..I'm buying
Bad
1. it looks like I overpaid....wow see few posts suggesting $4k...I wish and will gladly buy yours for $4k
2. non-original case
3. small lacquer crack around tuner (does not appear to be deep)
4. Not 1980 rather 1982
Anyway a pic next to my main gigger (in recent times) btw the neck on the Gibby is a baseball bat...Hamer really similar to a Charvel
