This one seems to be generating a lot of interest.
Link to auction on eBay.
It's not in great shape and it has already generated bids of more than similar ones in better shape have in recent auctions.
What's so interesting about this one?

There could be less than 20 of these in the world and I have never seen this color.


The seller knows how to maintain interest in something, even if he has little actual information about what he's selling. (He also started with a very low starting bid and no reserve, which always helps!)

I'd agree that the cracked pickup cover and general condition of the instrument don't merit the overall interest. There are two sellers with 0 feedback who are bidding it up.

I had one like that once but sold it because the "parallax" effect of the converging lines in the design against the straight lines of the stings made me nuts. I just never could deal with it. That and the fact that without removing the pickup cover to get closer to the bridge the sound was darker than what I wanted.
