It has a nice upgraded MojoAxe compensated bridge too.

They seem to overdrive the prices there, wonder what it will end at.

I'm betting that by the end of the bidding on Sunday that one will go for more than what it cost new. It ain't pretty when two desperate lefties get in a bidding war. ;) :lol:

That bridge is $130 new. I'd prefer those over my Wilky, but that's just daydreaming.

Good guitar.

What the what? I thought we had just had a discussion about how it was a perfect time of you to sell and cash in, what with forgotten guitars hanging behind doors poppin' strings on their own and all. :lol:

Current price as of Saturday at 11:06 AM is $126. I'm anxious to see if this thing skyrockets as the clock ticks away closer to the end of the auction on Sunday evening.

My $125 bid was the only one until yesterday. I'll give it another shot a few minutes before it ends but even with that pricey MojoAx lefty compensated bridge, I won't be going much higher. BTW, Kurt still has the Faber lefty compensated bridges for $80 which is about $10-$20 cheaper than anyone else sells them for:

BTW, if you're not in need of the authentic look, this Gotoh 510UB one piece with the individual saddles works well. There are plenty of inexpensive bad ass type bridges out there but the problem I've encountered with them is that they're so thick that you can't get the string height low enough. That's never been a problem with the Gotoh. Link below is $55 but I've seen them for $45:

It finally went for $204 plus whatever shipping would be to the winner (it would have been $35 for me). When they first came out, I think they initially went for $200. The last batch was $250 and I think for another $50, you could get the Faber compensated bridge. So someone got a $300 guitar for $205, not a bad deal if it's good shape...

Yup, I just checked the email receipt on one of mine - it was $249.95 + $40.00 for the Faber bridge + 69.95 for the classy case. So if that bridge is at least the Faber's equal and the guitar is in good shape, they got a good deal.
