Happy Jack Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I've always loved listings that state that "XXX is only being sold due to financial reasons". Trans: I want the cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowregisterhead Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 The RD instantly reminds me of the geezer with the unfeasibly big glasses from A Flock Of Seagulls... he had one IIRC... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Hmm, while having some historical importance, one can see it's a prototype (ill fitting pickguard, early oversized attempt at the flying f-hole inlay for example). I'd rather have a later, more refined model. Oh wait, I have one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grenadilla Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I had a black one with ebony fingerboard from 79=83. This makes me miss it a little more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LemonCello Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 If the provenance is correct you could probably add ten large to the two its worth, although having said that wasn't one of John's Buzzards for sale on here a while ago for about that????
