Default Is this not a crazy good price?

I’m not familiar with this model, but I came across this online at a music store here in Canada. 2018 model. 700 buck US?!?! Great deal for a lefty? Doesn’t help me with my right handed approach.

What would these have gone for new?

Imo, assuming it’s in excellent overall shape, that price is almost too good to be true for that model. Not sure what the new cost or present value would be. I think a conversion to a righty would be pretty easy...just a change of nut, saddle, pins and neck heel strap button. That said, the barn door electronics would end up on the bottom.

Pretty sure they’re a reputable place. It says it’s on consignment.

It's a very good price. Lefties sell slower, thus the lower price.

It is a crazy good price for a crazy good guitar. Some southpaw has to jump on that thing...

Oh, didn’t notice the last August thing...perhaps it’s an outdated ad...

On an electric the conversion lefty to righty would be a snap. But the slot for the saddle is angled the wrong way, so fixing the bridge would require filling the slot and routing a new one. Not impossible, but beyond what most of us could do.

Good price if it's a guitar you want.
