I see your point and this guy don't sound like he'd mess you around. Just wanted to make sure you had as much info as possible! You made me research my guitar and the book value isn't quite what people are trying to get away with selling 'em. Unless the guy at the guitar store I called was high or trying to bamboozle me. I found stores that sell vintage stuff trying to sell my guitars brothers for $4,000-$6,000. Imagine my surprise.
