Anyway the seller says there was only 300 made, is this true? And how much would be a sensible price for one of these be? It should be arriving sometime next week so i'll put up some pictures then if anyone wants to see   Fox Username: Fox Registered: 2-2003 Posted on Saturday, April 21, 2007 - 6:39 pm:    Gibbs, make a search here, there are several threads on SB70.. The legend is, those were made from leftover Studio bodies and Blazer necks, the latter is true, but the story about Studio bodies...that might be partially true, BUT the body material in my SB 70 is sen-ash, not mahogany.. So there must have been at least some specially for SB70:s made bodies.. The build number could well be 300. This guitar was in production for only a short time.   Gibbs Username: Gibbs Registered: 4-2007 Posted on Tuesday, April 24, 2007 - 12:01 am:    Thanks Fox, I had no idea of the change of wood type. Thanks for clearing up the myth. Are they worth much?   Fox Username: Fox Registered: 2-2003 Posted on Tuesday, April 24, 2007 - 9:00 am:    Gibbs, the value is quite hard to estimate..because they are not so often seen on sale, and quite often the seller has little or no idea what he is offering for sale. Maybe in the 250-400 euros region??? Depending on condition, of course. Mine is "severely battle-scarred" but it was way under 250..
