    …Hey all.

    I’ve become quite tired of my 7 string guitar, and I now want a 6 string with Floyd Rose and all that. I have been searching a bit through ebay, which might be a bit risky. I got about $1250 all in all (which means that I can go as far as to about $1000 if buying in .com, due to taxes and all that when importing to Denmark.).

    I’m quite fond of custom guitars or something close to that, which might be stupid… but hey, I just like to be a bit out of the ordinary. I’ve found a guitar on Ebay.de, which is at the moment very cheap, as the auction started of at 1.00 euro, and is now at 103 euros, with 5 days to go. I’m not sure if it is even worth bidding at, but I quite like the look of it. Check it out here:

    My german isn’t the best, but as far as I can tell it is a custom made guitar, which has been at a…show-ish something, which of course means it has been played on there.

    Now, please don’t outbid me, if I decide on bidding šŸ˜›

    Well, now my question to you guys is: is it worth bidding on?

    I’m from Germany. The title description says that it is a guitar (of course it’s the only one of this model), of the Frankfurter Musikmesse (it’s the german NAMM)
    Further it says, that it is possible that the guitar could have some traces of use through playing
    Woods are Ash (Body), Ebony and Ahorn (neck, which also has stripes of rosewood)
    If you need some more information for translation just ask, I got to go to have some beers now šŸ˜‰
    Cheers

    Well, I pretty much understood all of that. I was more interested in knowing whether it would be a reasonable buy šŸ˜‰

    Yeah I know nothing about that guitar or the details on the page, but it looks pretty cool to me! I’m a sucker for the natural wood finishes. Beautiful stuff.

    Yeah I love finishes like that also.
