If I was left handed, I sure would. Mint condition air guitar, what's not to like. :D

I would be worried about packaging and insurance tho.

Probably an out-of-work comedian.

Not too hard to figure out why.

Ha! There's a bid! Now that makes me laugh. Smart man, I say, if people see a failed comedian and bid out of pity!! Like begging, but on Ebay.

Does it come with the original case?

Ishtar, you saw it first. So, as a courtesy from one lefty to another, I won't bid on it.

I don't like the finish. I'd have to put a Compton on it too.

Seems pretty versatile. Only bound by your imagination. I bet it'll go cheap. I bet you already have one laying around somewhere though.

Treat it with caution, he doesn't mention the condition. It might be unplayable.

I actually had one of those when I was about 12. It was a lefty too. I mostly used it for playing along to T.Rex or Bowie in my bedroom.

You mean the bid there isn't your's chilton? Well, then, maybe I will bid on it. I'll wait until the auction ends so as to minimize the frenzy in the air....

My main concern would be the guitar might dissolve if shipped with airfreight...not sure tho.

How about a trade? I would offer him a very rare air trumpet :D

I say go for it. How often do you get a chance like this?

I am not so sure. When ever my computer takes a pic, it reverses it, how do we know its a true lefty? Also, I see no way of adding the bigsby, and it needs a compton.

I say go for it, but you'd better hurry. If you don't, the deal will disappear like a fart in a hurricane.

Still 6 days + in the auction, but no BIN option. I wonder if one were to contact the seller if you could negotiate and maybe get it and have him shut the auction down prematurely, when, like a fart, before the wind dissipates it, is ripe?

Not to derail this thread with something trivial, but I ordered a new TRC from Paul Setzer.

Sorry... I'll post it in another part of the forum, if I can get over my existential despair, dread, and nausea...

Brent, I seriously doubt this guy is not on the up and up. I emailed him with a question and he hasn't replied. I think he must be inauthentic, an actor....

I knew it! I googled the seller with- "Gibsonburg, OH, United States Community Theater" and this pic popped up! He's a fraud, an actor! I think he's playing Macbeth!

naw, that's the "headstock" of his favorite "air" guitar, Greg. :D

Looks to me like one of those 70s "lawsuit" air guitars. I'd pass.

If I win the bid, would you recommend putting a Compton and some filtertron upgrades ?!?

No, just the air filter:D
