Is this is a good deal?

Yes.

 

500 bucks. You can do it.

 

That all depends.

 

Yep. If I hadn’t just made a better more recent purchase I’d be buying that.

 

The one thing about those MIJ guitars...they're consistent. So if you miss this one...there will be another.

I'm lucky. I found mine 37 years ago.

 

George Harrison played one too. His was a sunburst.

 

He's playing a Squier in When We Was Fab.

 

Note the shipping charge from Japan. It's more like $650ish with shipping and tax.

 

That's picking nits.

 

My math says $447 + $167 shipping = $614.00

I even double checked. How's THAT for picking "nits"?

 

Notice I also mentioned tax. On Reverb you'll pay a tax for/to most states. Delaware, Florida and maybe only a couple of others are excluded. My last $410 spent on Reverb they took $16.42 to give to Colorado as a state tax. So it may be a scooch under $650.

 

You got me! I forgot about the damn tax man!

(And the "nit" remark wasn't at you)

 

I don't think it's much of a "nit" when already struggling to just pay the ask. To @SonOfLerome it could be a deal breaker.

I'm not sure how old he is, but I remember my younger days struggling to afford half decent gear...it was very frustrating and sucked.

 

Sheesh. It's picking nits IMO.
It's a guitar. And it's a good price.

I just shipped an amp. Domestically. It was 132 bucks.

If you're going to quote me and attempt a correction...be prepared for pushback.

Picking nits about shipping is picking nits.

And I noticed some cornfield action. Thankfully, I don't see it.

 

I get it now. Thx for clarifying.

 

Nope. And another row is added.
