Get it while you can...
  
It has a chip along the edge under where your right arm goes...
But Testors' Enamel or Krylon would fix that. :p |

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | I just put it up there for somebody! It still looks like a good deal.
Personally, the '88, '89, and '90 never appealed to me.
The way that they had to move the bridge to accommodate the 24 fret neck looks funky.
I have 24 fret electrics, but I never play way up there.
But! Back in better daze I woulda grabbed it just to try-it-out.
Play with it for a coupla months and then sell it.
Who knows? I may have found myself attracted to it once I played it.

Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :) | That sold for $349! ... At that price it was a steal for somebody. Just think about how many people go out and spend 6-8 hundred bucks for a substandard guitar as a beginners instrument. The guitar's visual style doesn't appeal to me, but I sure believe I could have flipped that one for a nice profit.
...OOOPS! ...scratch that last statement... It's a shallow bowl. |

Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :) | Waaay too much... They look really nice, but they are still just a Custom Legend. Not saying CLs are not good guitars, just that - in my opinion - there have been a LOT of them made, so they are not unique enough to demand high dollars. |

I believe they were referred to as Super Shallow Bowls not Shallow Bowls weren't they? |

I never noticed the neck, just thought it was "un-pretty" (can't use the U-word on an O)
I'll go have a second look |
