Is this as good of a bargain as it looks?

This price sounds too good to be true for a new USA build 12 string. Does anyone have any experience with these? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33029&item=3778203848&rd=1#ebayphotohosting Also, a fellow member was just recently asking similar questions about getting a 12 stringer. Could be a lead for him. Jim Mitchrx Posted 2005-01-24 4:40 PM (#165702 - in reply to #165701) Subject: Re: Is this as good of a bargain as it looks?

With 12 string Elite T's available and 12 string LX's soon to be, this standard Balladeer will be difficult to sell. There are lots of nice 12 string O's on eBay all the time, just be patient. Or better yet, call Al Pepiak. stonebobbo Posted 2005-01-24 6:12 PM (#165703 - in reply to #165701) Subject: Re: Is this as good of a bargain as it looks?
