sadly there are people that buy with there eye's and not with there ears.I once had an archtop that looked cheap and asty but sounded wonderfull.I took it to jhon Alvey when Doug Parry was running it .He looked at it and said it was Junk & then played it and thrust & thrust pound notes into my hand(he was giging at the time with the Passadena Roof orchestra) not like him to part with money ( :-) \0

Bought my first resonator, a 1980's Regal Dobro style spider just from seeing it in a charity shop window. Made a deal through the shop letterbox as the shop didn't open for 20 minutes. Just as well, 'cos when the shop opened 2 other guys that had been in the day before rushed up to buy it! Knew enough about mechanicals to know how to stop rattling and loose bits. Found this forum and have never looked back. My point is that if I saw that guitar now with my gained 'knowledge'I might not buy it. Would have missed out on a nice guitar!
Best wishes to you all, John
