Strings....This seller also wants $75 for shipping ! Sometimes I wonder what these sellers are thinking..there is no mention of the condition (or even the fact that the selector switch is broken). This looks to be a very nice $1500-$1800 guitar assuming original case and no suprises in the condition. Shipping coast to coast should not be more than $40, unless its in a flight case -then coast to coast could cost as much as $60......I think we will see action on the relist if the seller lowers his price cause I don't really see anyone bidding at the current price (unless the name is shill) |

Yup! Agreed Dave. Also, do those fretwires always extend that far wide of the board when stock on this model, or is that a re-fret? Looks like it might be offering a rough ride. I can't tell about the switch form that shot. Could it be a metallic replacement? |

Seller obvioulsy doesn't know much about "The Brand" so is guessing at what it's worth. Dave, this is a brownburst and has got to be worth at least $1800 considering that in the past couple of years we have seen naturals go for over $2000. six |

Six, I don't think so...the last couple went for $1450 (Robs) and $1800 (mine)..they have been as high as $2800 in the past, but -at present I do not think this guit will attract anything near that. The frets do look like a re-fret as the original had tabs extending from the binding-not always a major negative, provided the refret is a real clean job. |

Yeah fair enough I guess but the colour must be pretty scarce for a Weir. Strange how they have peaked in price and have now dropped out. Wonder if it's a seasonal thing. six |

This seller is a local store in San Diego - I've been in there a few times. When they get something like this - or the '82 AR300 (that they want $1849 for) - they tend to shoot for the moon price-wise. I don't know if they are ever going to actually sell these guitars at the prices they're asking. This is a nice guitar, though. I'd never pay that much for it, but it is a nice guitar. |

I was gonna say "expensive" in the title of the thread when I listed it but with the prices some Ibanez axes have gone for lately, I didn't mention it. In any event, real nice guitar for the most part and the rare color but man... I do believe $1800 would be more of an acceptable price/expenditure. I am inclined to think that someone here will jump on this guitar despite the current asking price and... that would negate a re-list. |
