Fralin's are fine! Besides...even with that guitar, no one is "John Lennon!" So, I wouldn't worry about it, that much. But, that's just me... Whatever you do, Enjoy!

TC5 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 tuners and trapeze tailpiece have been ordered :) i bought this for $100 bucks at the epi yardsale What is the EPI yardsale? Is it a liquidation they have at the factory? Can you buy only when you show up there at the premises? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epinder Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 In another thread about a week ago, someone had a link to an ebay auction for the exact same shell that you purchased. If I remember correctly, the seller was selling them for $400 to $600. Not a bad ROI if they sell. There is the thread regarding the lefty Casino that is very similkar to this and that one has been sold for $1500. That seller added the items required to complete the guitar, but I'm sure they didn't have $1500 into the guitar. Once again, a very nice ROI. Good Luck with your project. It is a very nice looking guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
