Are you thinking about picking up this piece yourself?

Wow, I had no idea Guitar Center put their used stock online. Interesting.
I have seen and played it several times. It's been in their showroom for a while now. It's a little dinged up, but it sounds fairly amazing (I don't have much experience playing high end classicals, so a hardcore afficionado might not agree, but it's the best sounding classical I've laid hands on.) The action is high, but there's saddle room to bring it down. The main thing is the sound though; it's full of character. The finish is light and the guitar is lightly built, which I'm sure contributed to that.
I am considering buying it. I think it's worth what they're asking....
