It must be very unusual: it has three petals.

My fingers aren't worthy!

I saw three pedals, but the "petals" the seller was advertising must be hidden under the cabinet? As a long-time horticultural professional I'm intrigued by this.

I offered $400, and it was declined. Oh well. $:\$

The ad says "Nashville Set up - 3 Floor & 3 Knee Levers" but I only see one knee lever in the pictures.

Shipping is FREE !

I will sell him my raised neck Maverick for that price!

Dearl Roughton · Post by **Dearl Roughton** » 17 Dec 2012 5:18 pm

Does that mean my early raised neck Maverick is worth more?

* used Sho-Bud student model: $400.00

* extra strings, a cheap bar, picks, tuner, a cord, and two books: $2099.00

Total: $2499.00 Free Shipping!

And don't ya love all the rules and restrictions regarding payment and shipping? You can't do this, and you can't do that... And the seller begs for positive feedback in his auction description. That really irks me. Positive feedback is earned, not given because the seller asks for it in advance.

Nope. $499 for the guitar, free accessories and books, and $2000 for shipping

but it says " ** We will have a PROFESSIONAL SHIPPER package this "

that's worth at least $1500 right there! Maybe they will personally delivery it cross country on a horse and buggy with armed guards to ensure its safe arrival

I've heard that there is one born every minute

He's waiting for the next one to be born. It could happen ya know.

James Taylor · Post by **James Taylor** » 18 Dec 2012 12:01 pm

Ray, I'm a new born player with an old 195o's Fender with 3 pedals and one k/n;it may be worth a few bucks, or an exchange. There again just think of the postage!!!!!

You guys just don't get it....! THIS ONE was inspected by "J". Need I say more?

I used to own one identical to this one - it got me started on E9th.It had the tone/sustain and ring of a slightly over ripe orange - not quite bad but close to it!
It served the purpose though as I quickly learned that I desperately wanted something better. Maybe that's what "starter" guitars were all about back then.
The description is long but they missed the words "vynil covering" after the 'Birdseye Maple" part.

I have one that is just as clean except my case is worn some. First $2200 takes it.

One of should enlighten him (shouldn't we).

I tried emailing the seller a couple of times through eBay and got this notice:

Unfortunately, due to the high volume of messages this seller receives, they are unable to respond to your specific question right now.

He must be a very important and busy seller if he has no time answer questions.

I think we should all submit offers of $300. Maybe then he'll get the message.

Lane Gray · Post by **Lane Gray** » 18 Dec 2012 10:50 pm

I found her yahoo email.
Sent her an email explaining that her price was roughly 5 times reasonable

Lane Gray · Post by **Lane Gray** » 18 Dec 2012 11:52 pm

Well, she says she'll just wait for someone to meet her price or come across with a reasonable offer, but she certainly won't let it go for 4-600.
I told her best of luck, and there are words for people who'll sell a $500 guitar for $2450, but we don't use them in polite society.

All joking aside, it would be nice to have that cable with the garbage bag twist tie on it...and the vintage 30 year old Ernie Ball strings.

holy sheeiite!!!!

My Maverick I'm still trying to sell is a bargain at the 650 I'm asking for it. Maybe I should message them and ask if they want to trade........lol
