'59 DuoSonic body - too much?

Post by DanHeron »

Seen this '59 DuoSonic body on ebay. Finish has been stripped off but it still looks cool.
BUT its £140.

That is way too much right? I'm very tempted to build a project around it. When you think a complete '59 guitar would be over £1000 it doesn't sound so bad... thoughts?

£100 would be more like it.

hmm OK. I will keep looking/thinking about it. If it was finished it would be good I guess.

EDIT
Oh shit, the auction ended anyway lol
