I am not sure whether to let this go, I've thought about it a couple of times, then played it and decided against - but I really have too many.

It plays better than guitars 2 or 3 times the cost - these are made by the same company who make Spector Euro basses etc which cost a couple of grand (in Czech Rep), so high quality - they used to be made by Mayones (in Poland).

The satin finish really sets this apart from my other Fame, but I've gotten attached to that one.

It's as new, barely touched, and comes with a gig bag.

    The second post is showing OK for me on Android, but completely blank on desktop.  (Chrome on both.)

    It looks like the baby from a coupling between a PRS and a bass.

    Might as well bump.

    Best value for money guitar available, and that's at the new retail cost.

    When my Forum 1V arrived I was genuinely amazed (and very happy) how good it was. I am a big PRS fan and have owned dozens of them from SE's to Private Stock, this Fame gives them all a bloody good run for the money.

    Yeah, they really are, for me, the best value guitars you can buy as I said.

    Which is why I've not really pushed too hard to sell this one!

    I don't really the money from selling it, but it does feel a shame to have so many unused guitars.

    Would trade for a MIJ Les Paul of some kind, or a Tele.

    I had a Spector Euro bass and the quality was outstanding so I am sure their guitars are similarly good.  GLWTS
