The economy or 7.25?

After my recent post asking about V necks I've noticed four '57 AVRI on craigslist for $1200.00 each. That seems like a pretty good price for what they are. I'm just wondering if people are tired of them, dislike the 7.25 radius, or just needing to pay the rent. This kinda speaks to the latter.

That price is a little high; $ 1,050.00 would be more likely to result in a sale.

Those CL listings could just as easily be from a Pawnbroker who gave $ 300 to get that AV57.

Nothing wrong with a 7.25 radius and vintage frets. $ 1,200 is good money right now for this guitar, used, when you look at the price one sold for in 2001.

I'm sure those guys tried the guitars before they bought them so I'd agree probably the latter. My two strats have 9.5 radius with medium jumbo frets, and I really like that in terms of action and string bending, but the 7.25 with the vintage frets are a lot easier on the fingers IMHO.
