Yes she is delicious.  I would give my left nut for it.  But I don't think my left nut is worth $30K.

At very close to $AU 50K landed in Australia with exchange and various government charges, I'll pass too.

Refin... note the colour of the "white" within the control bay...

Still very nice... 8)

Yes I had wondered about that and the different colour on the headstock? Makes we wonder what might be lurking under the finish- not worth anywhere near the asking price IMO. But still very pretty.

Same guy?

Same guy. He also has the $85K Lightshow posted over in the Cool Rics on eBay thread. I remember his ads in Vintage Guitar mag from the mid-90s or maybe earlier.

It's a brick-and-mortar store. Note both Thunderbirds are in one of the rotating pics on his home page. And check out some of his cars.
