This is pretty neat!

$1500 is a bit high for a nice color.
Wow! Want it! And an Inverness Green one:D
Yeah, seems to me he's about 2x the going price for an Epi.
He obviously bought it from Ishibashi or another Japanese seller and is trying to double his money.
That said, with the AUD at US$0.985 at the moment, I'd hit it if the price was around $1000 shipped.
Relisted again, starting at $875 this time ....

I jammed with a guitarist a while back; he played a Gibson SG in pelham blue. Very nice guitar.
I'm sure the bass is nice also, but the thought of 800+ for an Epi just doesn't sit well.
Apparently others feel the same, bass doesn't seem to be going anywhere fast...
