$500. for shipping is absurd.

Yeah, but the seller is Steven Segal. Get him to autograph the guitar and it will be worth it.

Concidering how old it is, it looks to be in great condition.
Not that I'm in the market for anything like that.

I'm guessing $150 for shipping and $350 for insurance! ;)

I'll pass thanks.
It seems a little high priced for all the work that was done on it. It's also a bit too old. They say it's built for steel strings but I didn't think that started till the early 30's. Kummer would know for sure.

You're probably right on the insurance, plus it's coming from Canada so who knows what else special you have to do.

I've got my father's C-2, a 1934 that TJ converted to a 42 style flat top and that is very close to this OOO guitar.

Fred,

Other than the asking price seeming to be too low for this model (I'm no expert here), what makes you think it is a scam?
