Just got another chance to buy this same guitar, guy wanted $300, I offered him $250. He wouldn't take it. Guitar is clean. Now he's offering it for $220. Is this a good deal?

That's my .02 FRN...  |

Have you been assigned to take care of me for my 1st 6 months on the board? You are always right there to answer my questions. And I do so very much appreciate it.
Thanks, and I was was going to offer him $200.
I bet he wishes He took my offer of $250 2 weeks ago.
Thanks

OH! I found it... Here!
(In case anyone else wants to see what we are talking about)
Anita, here is a bit more information on the 1139...
If you look at those pictures of the headstock and neck you will see how smooth the wood is...
Cuz it ain't wood.
All I can say is go over and try it to see if you like it. If it sounds good and looks good you might buy it. But I have bought nice guitars that plug-in for that much... |

Location: Reisterstown, Maryland | I always try to be very careful in my purchaces. I think so far I've done well. And I like the older O's, I guess I'm chasing my youth when all I could afford was an Applause.
So, Thank you all.
OMA, That's the exact guitar, and the exact page I went to for info on it. You are good.
