LukeFRC Posted March 16, 2012 Author Share Posted March 16, 2012 is it daft I'm thinking of buying a new preamp that costs about that? :S ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeFRC Posted March 16, 2012 Author Share Posted March 16, 2012 though for balance the preamp on the status is £115 new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solo4652 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 It was on Ebay for £250 and nobody bid. It has a "crack in the paintwork" on the back. Hmmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solo4652 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I've exchanged emails with the seller. I specifically asked him if the crack was in the body, or just in the paint on the surface. He said: " the crack in the body is about 4 inches long and hasn't got any worse since i've owned the guitar (which is over 2 years), it's a mystery to me why it's there, my theory is it was left somewhere hot, who knows, i think that answers all your questions, feel free to ask any more."
