brilliant!
I want one, but already have twelve and have to draw the line somewhere ;)

Build quality varies on these.  Personally, I want the one they used for the air guitar championship over in Finland.  I hear that one has amazing action and bendability.  The whammy delivers ridiculously stable tuning too.

Hmmm, limited colour scheme though...

I've bought a few of these in the past, and they get dinged up and scratched pretty easily.  I don't see any blemishes, but that might just be a stock photo, and not actually the guitar that you're bidding on.  You might want to contact the seller to ensure that the guitar in the photo is the actual one you'd get.   If so, I'd say go for it!  Even if you decide not to play it, it's a great wall hanger or showpiece.

It looks pretty good, but the pickups on those are quite often weak and the pots don't wear well. You might want to consider using the shell and gutting the electronics. A couple of good pickups in there and new tone caps (I like 0.015uF with humbuckers like that) and you'll have a new instrument tonally with the classic styling.

Take care,

Only 4 minutes to go! Better get your last bids in quickly! I'll bet it gets sniped at the last second.
