These are great basses, and very hard to find in lefty 'cause they only offered them for a short period of time. This is the S-1 model. I own the S-2, and it's one of my favorite basses. You get a lot of higher end aesthetic appointments for an inexpensive bass. They have a fantastic, thin neck and a great punchy sound. For my taste, though, the S-1 is a little too, "Lord of the Rings" looking, but I suspect the playability and tones are similar to the S-2. At any rate, given the missing covers and lower bout repair, I wouldn't offer him more than $500.
