sumner77 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Trying to resist major GAS. But I may succumb to a funds hemorrhage if I find a vintage Smeck Stage Deluxe in good shape. Can anyone who has played the HOG version tell me if the fuss is really worth it? And if anyone has played both the vintage and the newer custom shop guitars, can you please tell me what difference you heard? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rscott4079 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Vintage 38 Smeck on Ebay. Looks nice: Roy Smeck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballcorner Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Reach for the TUMS, that one is gonna cause some serious GAS. That is a real gem. I only ever found two of these and they were wrecks. I couldn't believe the pictures. Too bad he didn't offer it here in the forum before paying eBay its vulture fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sumner77 Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 Is it me or does the ''burst look unusual on this guitar? not continuously blended, but in three distinct color phases. I've never seen this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rscott4079 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Here's one that sold at Elderly some time ago. Looks pretty similar: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sumner77 Posted July 26, 2008 Author Share Posted July 26, 2008 For the record, what is ebay's fee for selling something like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rscott4079 Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Well, its 8.75% of the initial $25.00 ($2.19), plus 3.50% of the initial $25.01 - $1,000.00 ($34.12), plus 1.50% of the remaining closing value balance ($1000.01 - closing value) ---- yeeeessh! Anyway it's probably around a hundred bucks, estimating without a calculator. But the seller pays that, not you. Are you going to pull the trigger? It's only money after all.

sumner77 Posted July 26, 2008 Author Share Posted July 26, 2008 Trigger? Hard to do when I've had my kids bind my hands with duct tape and my wife's brother (250 lbs) is sitting on my chest. Thinking hard about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
