Given that a new power supply is $550 and the 5-pin cable is $190, the lack thereof would knock more than $200 off the price, IMHO.  This looks to be a medium scale guitar is very nice shape.  $2400 - $3000 is probably where it would end up on eBay, though prices seem to have come down a little recently in view of the economy.  With the blue box and cable, I wouldn't be surprised to see this go for a little north of $3000.

Beautiful top and back! It's like looking underwater through ripples.
