...and Jim, it's a bargain. Just imagine how much time and money would be saved in not having to buy any of those expensive tuners and having to learn those special tuning procedures!

| I guess that means the Esquire is worth $19500. |

| Thanks, that's a hoot! He can't spell "scratch" but spells "faux" correctly. Both guitars refinished, too. |

I emailed the seller asking if it was a joke. She said it was on consig. and this is what they wanted. I offered several hundred for the lap.

| It's self evident that he doesn't want to sell; but to just show them off to a large viewing audience. |

| Could be, or maybe they're trying the "price it so high only an idiot would buy it, then sit back and wait for an idiot" method. [This message was edited by Jim Phelps on 26 August 2005 at 08:38 PM.] |

Someone posted "question for seller" and wants to buy. Am I missing something here?

| Yep, the Esquire has been refinished. All Esquires made in the 1950's were blonde. Refinishing a vintage guitar cuts the value in half. This seller is way off base. [This message was edited by Doug Beaumier on 27 August 2005 at 09:07 PM.] |

| I suppose that, on a good day, it might be worth 2 or 3 grand. |

There were some interesting comments posted in the auction. I guess the seller had a need to defend him/herself. Anyway, there were no takers which was to no surprise.
