I cashed out my vacation pay (I have not been able to take a vacation uninterrupted in 6 years) +I'm only a few months from rolling over again, because I found a super deal on CL!
"Gretsch G5120 (orange) only 1 month old, w/ Hardshell case $500/OBO". It was 2 hours away, so 4 hours later, $475 lighter (That's right!), I have the guitar I have been lusting over for the last two years. Not a mark on it, plays like a dream! Still smells new!
This guitar sells everywhere for $699+Tax, then the TKL case is about $99-120+Tax I got it for $475. Wow. I truly now believe that good things come to those who wait.
Must play...can't... put.. guitar.. down...
