^ That is less than most people sell a new Vintage 30 for. Unbelievable.
Probably why they're all gone. :(

They're normally $700 new and run about $400 used when I've seen them pop up. I can't stand restringing trems, particularly Bigsby and Floyd's, else I'd hop on this.

Looks like it sold already.

Yep, noticed this morning. It was only like $260, I probably should've jumped on it but I have a couple of things I need to sell first...

This is already gone but just FYI if you get one of these for like $30 restringing Bigsby bridges becomes just as easy as restringing any regular ole' bridge:

https://reverb.com/item/4000489-us-ship ... gLZ0fD_BwE

HIGHLY recommend it. I have this baby with a Bigsby and restringing it usually used to mean a few extra punch holes in my walls, but now it's an absolute breeze :lol:

Old headstock model too. I’m not sure if those had the maple cap but either way it isn’t a bad price. The truss rod cover just says 3000

Been looking at it, but no, I can't. To me, Its only redeeming quality is having the old headstock. It lacks the appointments of the 3000M (it's just a 3000, so no 3/4" maple cap). The finish is meh. I'm ok with it not having binding, but all things considered, I think it's way overpriced for what it is. That has to be half again more than it went for originally.

I wouldn't be too sure about it not having a maple cap.
It looks just like the school al-3000Ms, that didn't have binding, down to the sparkly creme pick guard a TR cover.I had one, and it was great. I also had a separate older 3000m that came with a 3000 (no M) truss cover.

It being one of the originals, it's hard to be certain. But if I were to bet, I'd be all in on it being an AL-3000m.

I agree it is somewhat overpriced, but not outlandishly so. Original price should not matter that much, replacement cost today is more important.

I've been holding off on non-essential purchases and decided to pick one of these up. Been wanting a speaker cab for a while and you can't buy the speaker alone for this price.

Got mine. Haven't played it yet, BUT strapped into the bottom of the cabinet was a surprise... a 2 switch pedal with the switches labeled "1" and "2"! Looks like one of these: https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=611102

Oh and the spec sheet for the cab was there too.

Got mine too. Just posted in the latest gear thread. If you have the monoprice 15 tube amp the foot switch works to turn reverb on/off with button 2. Seems they had some cabs that were supposed to be bundled with the 30W head that they unbundled. At first I was bummed that I didn't get the cable I expected. I ran to my local shop and got one and hooked everything. Was pleasantly surprised that the foot switch worked with my amp. Now I'm glad I got the footswitch and not the speaker cable.

MF is having a sale on many things Breedlove for those interested in acoustics. My only current acoustic is parlor sized and while I really like it, I frankly want an acoustic with more than 12 frets above the neck. I've liked most of the Breedloves I've played in the past. It looks like most of the sub-500 guitars are $50 off, then 100 off those 499 and up etc. Details here:

Pretty sapele top for $350 here:
