Steal of the Century? You Decide...

[Lefty Robb]

I just picked up this sweet pretty much unplayed RG 1570L with a mint lefty molded J-craft case for $388, even came with the j-craft baggy with arm, truss rod wrench, and allen wrenches. Not a ding on it, no fret wear, it just sat for a while. I told the guy at Daddy's I feel dirty buying it for this much, I mean the case alone is like $150 if you can even find the Lefty version.

Down side is its not for me, its for a friend, I promised her I would find her the best guitar for the lowest amount of money, and I'll be damned, I think I just pulled that off...



And now starting the Rich treatment...(note tape on pickups to prevent steel wool from getting in the pickups)

[DavyH]

Sweet deal Robb. How about getting your friend the second best guitar for the second lowest amount of money? You know you want to.

[Lefty Robb]

Nah, I can't do that to her, I don't need the guitar anyways, I have a super rare 3120L. I wouldn't mind running off with the case though...

Robb, 4 screws, pull the neck off

Was it used? A return? Or are stores today just bent on loosing $200+? Or are you just that personable you could talk an Eskimo into a snowmaker?

Yeah, it was marked as used, but my god, I know no played this guitar, hardly any pick swirls (your average from sitting in a store), not a ding in sight, and the case doesn't even have a scratch on it, they could have marked it as new and no one would have known the wiser. It was even marked at $699 used...

[Rich]

Selling used as new is unethical at best. You'll still find integrity in this business and it's good to see. [Besides, when the customer sends in the warranty card on one that's previously been registered the cat is out of the bag]

[Lefty Robb]

Thats why I go to Daddy's and not Wal Mar...err I mean Guitar Center...

You still gotta admit though, thats one hell of a deal...

[CosmicDebris]

Good Ole Dad. Nice axe

[Dee]

Well, yes. That's a total steal if I've ever seen one! Well done Robb. Translates to under £200. Damn!
