Oooo if it was nylon... still pretty cool. was there a BIN price? There’s a bid on it already.

There was not a BIN—just an opening bid of $1350 and the option to make an offer.

It’s so beautiful. Is it Sitka Spruce? The colour sort of looks more similar to the Cedar version.

I agree—totally cool-looking Fly!

Most likely Sitka spruce—Ken and co. only made a handful of cedar artists and those were early on.

I think one of us would have jumped on a BIN if it had been "in range". Need to add one of these to the flock.

I saw it listed at $1350, and did initially think that was the Buy It Now price, and, yes: my heart did skip a beat! 😝

Instead of a flock or a herd we should just start referring to it as the swarm. VJ has a swarm of flies in his attic. Maybe better to start calling it a business in front of the wife.

V.J.’s thought process:
“how the heck can I justify having a swarm of Flys in the house?! Oh I know: my buddies and I can all contribute to some kinda online forum about Flys and disguise our obsessive tendencies as ‘research’!!!” 😝

A little late in production for me, but someone here wants it!

Haha well I guess when your guitars are displayed at the Met!

I still think about seeing that archtop made from the tree when the exhibit was updated with some new instruments.
