Good price

(1/4) > >>

eb2:
I think the buy-it-now is pretty good here.  Doesn't look broke, and an ok case.

The asking price does seem to be lower than what I've seen in the past couple of years. Don't know if $5,000 is ever reasonable.

Barklessdog:
It really looks beat up

eb2:
I don't see that really, although granted it is not mint.  It has the original parts, finish, and case.  It doesn't look cracked.  Not mint, but dings and checking don't classify it as beat.  Not Relic status by any stretch.  I still think a 53-58 EB1 for $5gs or less in comparisson to the asking and selling prices over the last few years is good.

Dave W:
Looks like tons of little lacquer checks. Some guys love that. I don't. Still, it's just excessive lacquer aging. I wouldn't call it beat up either.
