Nice, deep quilts (and good pix).  Could be a nice deal in the end?

I'm watching this one but thinking with 6 bidders already and still 9 days to go it's going to get expensive fast.

If you are lucky enough to win this enjoy!
 
My Essence, although with slight supeficial differences - no LEDs or MOP ovals and it has Flamed Walnut top, is the greatest thing that has happened to me for a long time. With the Europa/Rogue electonics you are able to get a massive range of sounds to choose from.
 
I wish you all the best in bidding. but don't get caught up in bidding fight - too costly.

I haven't bid yet, way too early in the game for me.  I suspect this one will be past my budget soon.  It is a beautiful instrument.
