Location: Phoenix AZ | I contacted the seller to go look at it (not far from me). No response yet. The price is driven up because it's a wide neck and it's a very early one. I've played one other A-1 wideneck and I didn't particularly like it. It seemed REALLY wide and REALLY thick. Not sure Barry Bonds himself could swing that bat. But I imagine if you took a rasp to it for awhile you could get it down to a decent size. Dave |

Location: Tidal Mudflats of Virginia | I normally make it a policy of not bidding against other OFC'ers, but when Tony got outbid, I jumped into the action...didn't last long before I was out of it too.
Imagine my surprise this morning to find out it had been pulled...too bad, it was fine looking. |

Location: Orange County, California | Lesson be learned. If you ever list something on Ebay, don't show it to your friends at your house and let them bid on it. Ebay logs IP adresses and busts people for schilling. If you ever suspect it, report it. Also we use this site to check out sellers and bidders. |

Location: Upper Left USA | Using the tool Fred shared with us to identify common bidders I am sure my auctions will look suspect since I have had OFCer's dancing under the reserve on a few items.
It is difficult to absolutely know who is schill and who isn't. |

Location: Thailand | I need some helps. Please watch at/out two bidders, 0 feedback score. They placed the bids in 8-9 seconds. I wonder if they intend to buy this item.??

| That is a real nice Guitar...would be very much like playing a 12 string with the ocatve strings removed! Sure wish this was in the old Beige/Blue #7 but I could get used to this color hanging on the wall in a hurry I think.
