I didn't know there was an SE with a piezo .... I need to look into that. I think that the scratch-n-dent stuff is usually a pretty good value. Especially on the sites that provide detailed description/photos of the "issue" so you know full well what to expect. You need to be comfortable with the "no warranty" status of these instruments and if they have stamped "2nd" or "used" on the back of the headstock it may have a permanent effect on the guitars residual value.

I just bought a new guitar. Sells (everywhere) for $1395 but they had a "used" one (with a small scratch on the face) for $948. (32% off). I was able to finagle them into selling me a new one for $1116 (20% off) ... for me, the extra $165 was worth it to get a flawless instrument and the guitars 5 yr warranty.

I'd like to hear your impressions re the "Angelus" - take Care
