Post by: godofthunder on December 02, 2009, 02:08:21 PM: Huh ? did you say something ? I'm a bit deaf from playing all that R&R. Seriously I will go out on a limb for this. See it is a good thing I passed on the new Tbird ;D There was a reason.

Post by: Stjofön Big on December 03, 2009, 02:47:40 AM: That's not gonna be a cheap one. Over 2 K already!
Wouldn't it be nice if our Czech friends could make a serie of these, one pu model? I would go for one, fast as I can.
Any ideas out there?

Post by: godofthunder on December 03, 2009, 02:29:53 PM: Getting a little steep for me(still think'n about it though), one hour left and it is at $2,050.00 . Still a good price I think might get a little nuts near the end.

Post by: Hornisse on December 03, 2009, 04:04:49 PM: $2,408 final bid. Did anyone get it???
Title: Re: The Drooling Drools!
Post by: Highlander on December 03, 2009, 04:51:31 PM: Certainly isn't coming here... ;)

Post by: eb2 on December 03, 2009, 04:56:34 PM: I was watching that, but that headstock "repair" scared me. I am behind on my projects now, so I wasn't seriously into it. But $2 Gs isn't horrible for something that can be rebuilt. Maybe Doc Bass got this?
