Been wanting one of these for years... All the ones on ebay and gumtree are overpriced (I saw one locally, asking price £1750 when I could get a new one for £1 less) and are usually beaten-up - big chips out of the lower bout and headstock, rusty screws, missing case etc. The mighty Fretboard turns up trumps again! 18 years old and not a mark on it, and for a pretty reasonable price from @raul4me.

Just restrung with 10-46 and they feel like 9s, so I might try going up to 11s. The corner of the lower pickguard has cracked but that's easily fixed. You always have that thought at the back of your mind that you'll see a broken headstock when you open a case! Glad I went for a Fireglo, that maple is really 3D that will never come out in a photo.

I think so.
