Why don't you print out a copy of the ad and bring it to your local luthier and get an estimate? Then you'll know. |

Location: CA | My suspicion quotient doubles every time I see a guitar for sale that has had the strings removed. To me, it's like advertising a car up jackstands with no wheels on it. That said, it looks pretty and for that price would worth a gamble. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | The whole idea of Craigslist is that it's local, so you can go check it out. Seems like it's worth a look, YAK. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Maybe I'll stop on my way to San Diego. 45 minutes is a long drive? That's a short commute for most people. We spent that much time at Walmart trying to replace a boat cover last night. I just spent that much time on this board. |
