"Reserve not met" means the seller wants more and the bidders haven't hit the amount yet.

I could not tell about buckle rash from the clarity of the photos, could you?

 

I'm betting on a $3500 reserve.

[dem00n 736]

Yes.

But ive meet so many who are willing to pay thousands for that guitar.

I dont think the little buckle rash really matters right now.

If you win it, be sure to tell us how it plays! (Even "reissue") Modernes do not come around too frequently.

I can't afford to bid....

Novelty value. That's all this reissue will ever be.

Seriously fellas,if you did have the bikkies for this,would you rather -

1. Bid on this beautiful,buckle rashed Moderne REISSUE which only a couple of hundred were made(and why?mmm) OR

2. Buy a nice new butter scotch smelling(they do to me)Les Paul...

 

So...what's it gonna be?

 

I know what I'd be slapping my money down on.

Reissues are the only Modernes that are going to be coming up.

 

One sold locally for over $5000. I'm guessing at least that for the reserve, even if it isn't bid that high.

This is a wishful thinking but it would be great if somebody discovered a real Moderne tucked away in an attic / basement.
