Wonder what the real story is on this one. It doesn't say much, but they're asking a big bucks.

Something seems off about this. I think I'll post it at gretschpages and see what they come up with.

The gretschpages guys had already had a it on the radar and had a hoot about this guitar.
It's an overhyped Synchromatic with scanty provenance connecting it to Atkins

Thanks, Norm! That was interesting that this guy has had similar auctions on eBay. Somehow I guess he thinks people will spend lots of money with little or no evidence that a particular guitar is as important as his pricing and claim seem to make it. I don't know. Maybe there are people out there that are that gullible.
It is a pretty guitar, but it's not all that.

I have a feeling what he asks for and what he gets is vastly different.
Might be a thing of him trying again and again hoping for a sucker to bite
