I got my W597CB brand new from Brother Bobby. Paid $1550.00 with Ovation case including shipping to Hawaii. Was that a fair price? |

Location: Phoenix AZ | The issue with Rabbi Robert is that he often advertises the guitar on ebay with nice photos of the stock case. I think the case model number is 9158 or something like that. But he ships you the guitar in a cheaper 8000 series case and then sells the good one seperately to make a few extra bucks. It doesn't always happen, but I know if at least THREE documented cases where people got ripped off like this. His prices can be very tempting, but most times you get what you pay for. I doubt buyers of high end guitars like the 47RI worry too much about saving a few hundred bucks. Once you're over the card max, does it really matter by how much?

Location: big island | Is there a place where I can reference the cases to see which one I was sent?
Nevermind...I found them. I got a 9158 model. |

(I'm obviously ignoring the topic so that I quit thinking about buying a 47RI.) |

(I'm obviously ignoring the topic so that I quit thinking about buying a 47RI.) unfortunately the motor is not original. it did have the HO motor but the guy I bought it from replaced it with a 425. it came with a 2 barrel but I replaced it with a 4. rebuilt it when I did it damn almost 20 years ago now so I guess if I have to pay someone to do it right this time it is not a big deal. I put electronic ignition on it and some chrome stuff. most of which has gone to hell by now. when I feel depressed I go on e bay and buy parts and stick them in the trunk. it somehow makes me feel better.
the 8 lug wheels are killer. only the true pontiac fans know about them. |
