Can't beat that price!!!

I did that, and when I got it home the first thing I did was
peel the sticker off of it and under it there was a hole..

WOW! So the 'hole' was covered by an improvement. :-) Like putting

>a picture over a hole in the wall... Looks planned. :-)

The sticker looked old enough I'm sure the last owner, who likely
traded it in on a new guitar, had done it. But I'd also wager that
the sales guy knew it was there or they never would have let it go
so cheap. I couldn't complain though since it was a fairly good
quality guitar and I was able to do the repair on it.

I never 'grade' an instrument by the price or the brand. If you
gave that for it and it's a good instrument, then you got a
BARGAIN! :-)

It was fine for a long time after I fixed it but, eventually, it
was getting old and I had to have it repaired properly, new glue
on a lot of internal braces and some bridge work and such.

That cost me about $100, so I eventually did pay a closer to
fair price for it.. B)
