It made no lasting impression as a guitar but it looked fantastic.
Does that make me shallow?
Was ready for pulling the trigger, but I've been put off by some of the specs - the neck isn't rosewood, it's maple painted black. The sandwich is basswood, not maple. And for that price is be expecting cts pots and switch, but as there's no mention to that then I'm guessing it'll come with the usual Japanese electronics, which are the mini pots and circuit switch.
That's going to leave you hungry.

What I didn't know is that Olivia Harrison bought it back after George died. What a touching story:

I've seen the photos and despite my reservations on oiled finishes and other "natural" looking finishes, I quite like the look of it.
Shame to hear it is such a thin veneer though, although the rain forests might disagree!
I suspect money was no object to Olivia Harrison but the morality of the seller is highly questionable. A quiet 'behind closed doors' deal would have a lot more class, than putting it out to competing bidders to gain every last cent.
It is one of the very few Beatles associated instruments to come up for sale (in fact apart from the odd 'first guitar' type curios) I can't think of any others.
I makes you wonder what Lennon's stripped Casino, black Rick or J160E would go for.... Word has it that all of those are in Yoko's possession.
