I love logical fallacies. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | The price is off by 1 decimel place. Must have been a typo. All the paper Bloomfield and New Hartford labels say PAF. Nice guitar, but the bridge has been replaced. I suspect it started life as a natural finish and cracked like hell. The owner had it referbushed in sunburst with a new style bridge as well. Dave |

Location: 6 String Ranch | Good guess Dave. I'd agree with you. It might be an original s/b though. If it was and had the original bridge it would be worth more but I think you got it right.
Cholloway, your guitar IS worth 10K so don't worry about it! |

Location: Phoenix AZ | I agree. The photos are a joke. If the guy had taken the time and effort to make some decent shots of this guitar, I'd be jumping to place my bid right now. In fact I'd probably Buy-It-Now.
Seriously, do you think it's possible the guy really made a decimal place mistake. It just seems out of this ballpark. Overpriced isn't even the word for it.
