New Acoustic

Hey all

Here is a bargain I picked up off ebay, cost me €60 in the end as the guy forgot to put a reserve on it. I even offered to withdraw and let him run it again but he was a gent and sold it to me anyway.

Its a Takamine EG560C and worth about €500 or so, the pictures do not show it but it is beautiful dark edged but fading into a lovely blue. It just looks black in the photo!

The tone is great and its setup perfectly, its quite narrow so its good to play after playing electric guitars. Not like hugging a big woman like my fender acoustic.

Nice guitar and great price. Good of the seller to stick with original price and you are also a gent for offering him an alternative of re-running the sale.

That was very decent of you to offer him a get out clause, he must be a real Gentleman as well, nice guitar you keep turning up these bargains, nice addition to your collection Krissovo.

Congrtats Krissovo, You did very well for sure. It was nice that you gave him a chance to re-submitt.
Things even got a split bridge. Looks like a very nice guitar.

An EBay success! Good one, krissovo. Beautiful guitar :-)

eddiez - is there an advantage to a split bridge? Looks very sexy, for sure.

Excellent pick up. And nice of you to let him out of his gaffe if he wanted.
