Do MIM duos usually go for cheap? I saw one for $200 last year around christmas time. Now I'm wondering if that was too much?

I got mine like 5 years ago... they were way cheap then. People were practically giving them away. They didn't start getting into the high 100-200 range until like a year or two ago.

But yeah, I see'm go for $200 on the bay. Seem like thats the market these days.

Would have been a great score.

I actually picked it up. Had to pay $60 for it though. If it makes you feel any better it doesn't work and needs a new nut, which hopefully I'll have time to address those things this weekend.

No signal from the output jack. The slots at the nut are placed too far to the bass side. Should be easy fixes. Also, 22.5" is fucking small. Did these Mexican reissues come in 24" too, or no?

Well if it's too small I'll gladly take if off your hands (local pickup even!):D
Good score anyway.

Well, it's not so small that I don't want to keep it! :D But if I decide I don't want this midget wonder after I fix it up you can come take it back to SF.
