Well, yeah. I love it when parts are deep cleaned or "treated". Treated to what??

 

[Opsimath]

Price includes shipping which seller says will have bubble wrap. Will the finish on this $10,000 guitar react to bubble wrap?

 

[GGJaguar]

Price explains why it's been for sale for 2 years.

Hopefully the bubble wrap will be outside the guitar's case, and inside a cardboard carton.

But at that price it won't be shipped anywhere soon.

'This Guild S-100 is in 100% Original Condition

'Every Single Piece or Part on This Guitar Has Been Carefully Removed, Deeply Cleaned, Professionally Treated and/or Polished and then Reinstalled and Rebuilt During An Extremely Thorough Intricate Restoration Process and Setup Which Took Many Hours For its Completion'

Seems to be yet another misunderstanding of what 'original' means.

There may be questions over the effectiveness of what's be done to it, however, it's a used guitar

 

[fronobulax]

We've talked about this one before.

Even $2,000 on a used guitar is crazy to me. Back in the early 2000s Guild solid bodies were an average of $300 on eBay unless is was something like a Brian May or the X-100 Bladerunner.

Call me old-fashioned, but I think the "vintage" market is The Emperor's New Clothes. And some of the "experts" out there who put huge dollar values on old used guitars also own guitar stores and it is in their interest that people think an old guitar is worth $10,000 or more.

I'm gobsmacked.

What is "excellent plus condition"???

 

[fronobulax]

What is "excellent plus condition"???

Better than when it left the factory, obviously.

 

[mushroom]

What is "excellent plus condition"???

Similar to “beyond mint”.

I have a stock red Deluxe that I will let go at a steal price of half the price of that nature boy model.

Such a good movie.

It’s got a tremelo. Much more rare than a bog standard tremolo.
