I'd have to +1 w/Bob99 on this one. It might be (probably is) a really good guitar and the price might be a fair/appropriate price but thats an awful lot of money to be rolling the dice on. I once drove 5 hours, each way, to first-hand a pricey instrument I was pretty set on buying - and ended up passing on it. Never regretted it. A long day and $80 in gas well invested. Good luck.
