Hi guys, please see the link:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281271606596? ... 1423.l2649

Does anyone know much about them and what they sell for in the real world? I quite like the look of it but not sure on the price.

Thanks

Offhand I'd say that guitar is a weeeeee bit overpriced, laddie.

According to my currency converter, £995 equates to roughly $1660 USD.

Here in the colonies, those pink paisley Strats go for about $675 to $750.

+1...Everything Arjay said is true, but he left out that these are great playing guitars with some very nice tones. And the quality of these MIJ guitars is very high.

FWIW

Sixteen hundred bucks gets you well into AVRI territory.

Them paisley curios may be great but they ain't that great -- not by a country mile.

+1 That price is way to high, but if the OP comes across one for a reasonable amount then he should know they are great quality and he should grab one.

$1600 won't even get you a new American standard in the UK.

We all have our cross to bear.

To paraphrase the late Sam Kinnison......

MOVE TO WHERE THE GUITARS ARE!

Being that it's a late 80's early 90's MIJ, it can command a bit more than the one run of CIJ's. But I wouldn't pay more than 1100 USD for it. Though it is a GREAT guitar. I have it's sister the blue flower.
