I've bought four so far. All were perfect.

From my perspective, it just seems odd that a shop is willing to hold onto guitars so long just in order to get a little more money. I don't fully recall all the guitars they had from that same estate sale, but it was a lot of nice stuff. There were a few I'm pretty confident stuck around for years, but this was the tone that struck me both as the most interesting and overpriced. I was clearly right about overpriced.

It's not NOS. They helped the collector who died custom order it. His widow sold it back to the shop. It's not mint. In my books it's what REverb would call very good. It has some dings on the back IIRC

It felt heavier than that, but I also usually play PRS and Strats which rarely hit the high eights in weight. I'm slightly surprised to hear it's under 10lbs. Like, I almost don't believe them.

I love Ebony. I don't know the weight but I'd get 11lbs or so.

If my memory is correct, I first saw this some time in 2017. They told me they had custom-ordered it for a collector, and he had just passed. They had several high-end guitars from his estate, and this is the last one still listed. They're asking $3600 and haven't budged on the officially listed price in years. Today, I went by there once again and asked them about it, and they told me verbally they'd take 2500. I think that's still a bit more than the average for these guitars. It's a heavy SOB and brighter than your average singlecut guitar. I may have posted about this before and posted about it before. With another few years of inflation, they may eventually get the price they're asking for it.

I literally only learned about these a few days ago when a friend tried to sell me one. This one looks much nicer and has a nicer case. I love what you've done with it.

I'm going to be the one negative nancy and say that it's all good until you get a pedal that doesn't work and need it to be fixed. That dude doesn't have great customer service.

Sheet... if I didn't have two EBMM Cutlass, four Fender strats, and a USA Silver Sky, I'd be interested. May I bump this on @Eli's behalf? G&L makes good guitars. Custom builds usually don't go this cheap. I've had a honeyburst. They look great in person.

I missed this, but having a strat with a buffer I'm starting to realize I like the EQ shift from not having a buffer going into a Marshall.

I can't remember enough to say whether that might've been a guitar I owned at one point.

I admire Joe B as being the most impressive guitar flipper known to man. I can't say he's not impressive as a collector, but who else can buy a vintage guitar and use it to help market and sell an Epiphone, Gibson, or Fender replica, thereby improving the provenance of the guitar? The man has done the same with Duncan pickups. Occasionally he even lends his name to a signature guitar pedal. I've heard at least one person say on a forum that he actually works with investors/partners with his collection and it wouldn't terribly surprise me if that's true. There's no doubt that he can sell a guitar. As a huge fan of blues and blues based rock, I don't really listen to him. It's not that he isn't talented but he doesn't have a signature style that really sets him apart. Plenty of bigger acts like Lenny Kravitz and Greta Van Fleet have been accused of that.

Possibly the only time I'll bump this. Just dropped the price $500

The third option I'm used to is letting you like to a URL: Ok so that works, but it wasn't where I was expecting it to be and it wasn't obvious to me initially.

I'm used to half the forums I use letting you use something like markdown or a bbcode: [img]https://i.imgur.com/99KVSra.jpg[/img] [Imgur](https://i.imgur.com/99KVSra.jpg) There's both examples. Neither work here
