Now that is just cruel teasing....!!!
Go for it Tbrannon,  you know you want to.
 
My saving grace is that it is out of the uk so the tax, duty and cost of shipping is a good way to keep impulse buys in check.

I would love to pull the trigger, Jazzy.  Alas, my wife is in nursing school for another 11 months and the cost of that + the fuel for her daily commute makes this an impossibility.  
 
Would love to snag it though!!

Sigh . . . what a time to be broke and nothing to bargain with.  There will be another, there will be another . . .  
 
Best of luck with the sale.

That is such a great idea Clarky and if that one had signature electronics, you'd probably have yourself a deal.

Eric,
 
6-string Elan would be very tempting.
