My apologies if I am posting this in the wrong place.

I am looking to buy a used (or new well under the retail price) Reissue Madcat tele copy. eMail me dspiffy@gmail.com Thank you!

Yeah you probably want to put this in the classifieds (which you can see once you've got 50 posts). However it's highly, highly unlikely anyone on here has this guitar. I'd quite fancy one though.

Here's one. They're not cheap!

Here's another. Looks like different reissue.

Seent dem! I have permission from the wife to buy the second one, but thought I'd check around for a used one like the first one first. You never know!

OT: a couple guys here, IIRC, bought the Hardly Benton (Thomann.de) knock-off. I think westtexasred might have ended up with two due to shipping errors? but he never keeps a guitar more than a few months

Just got one! I like it a lot and it's AMAZING for a $200 guitar.

Sound is a little thin, I've ordered a set of BLUSA pickups for it.

My tech says if I need to play it regularly I'll at least want to upgrade the tuners and the nut. He also said he would probably replace the saddles and the neck, or at least dress the frets. In that case I'd rather keep it stock and use it as a backup. I'm still going to change the pickups simply because I want to try different sounds. With the BLUSA pickups I dont see why it would sound different than the Mad Cat.

Sounds like a deal, I thought they were closer to $2000. Pics?

The Harley Benton is $200, and it's shown in the videos above.

The Mad Cat Reissue retails for $3100. Ouch!

I received mine a few days before for $1600. Now used ones are selling for over 3-4 grand. Very sad.

Received one of these back at the end of November. Amazing! Mine looks even better than the web pics.

$329.17 with a case.
