This looks like it might be kind of a cool axe. But $1999 BIN...? Not so sure.

I love my b302 but that price is stupid. Very clean bass, though. Great piece. I'd go up to $600, maybe $800, but that's pushing it.

Yep, beautiful condition but that price is insane.

Cool bass. I have the guitar version of it sitting in a closet.

Nice. How's it sound?

I have someone up north who's holding a 1978 F-40 for me. I've heard good things about the 70's Guilds made in R.I.

The tone is awesome. The notes just leap out of it; it's a lot like a Les Paul, but can get mellow like an SG. And the action's amazing.

That guitar looks amazing.

Back in high school, a friend of mine loaned me one of those guitars (a righty in a cherry finish) to noodle around on, since I was just learning how to play. The guitar fell over with the cable in it, causing the input jack to cave inside the guitar. (Were these semi-hollow bodied, or was there another model similar in body design that was?). Anyway, he was none to happy. :oops:

No, these are solid-bodied. The jack is side-mounted on a chrome plate, so it could be pushed into the control cavity if you tried hard enough.....the guitar in the pic is loan to me; well, my friend is loaning me his house, and the guitar's in it. He'd gladly sell it to me when get a job again. He prefers his Gibsons to it.
