I would agree but so is that price for a Spoiler.

I generally agree, but it IS in the Netherlands where they are more scarce. Real looker though!

What's up with the finish problems on this one? They describe the obvious one on the upper horn, but pictures show other spots where the finish seems to be separating from the wood.

Oh, my, what a top!

I only see 3 real problems with that one:  The neck p/up is too far from the neck, it has a conehead*, and it's way expensive.


*Yes, I know that's standard for a Spoiler; doesn't make it right!
