Another up on GC... excellent condition $700.

Just PSA for anyone looking...

An hour or so and... SOLD.

The appropriately priced ones seem to sell fairly quickly.

There is a nice looking one on Craigslist here in San Diego, $1200.


Others, probably not?

Yeah, I can’t believe somebody hasn’t jumped on it already. The top is not fantastic, though, and I’m not sure about the “tasteful relic headstock”.
I know the guy from the FB 59/Lazz forum. I seen this yesterday he was asking 1k for members but now it looks like he has come down 100 bucks. Plus he did the aged nickel faber kit . Deff worth 900 bucks...

The one here in San Diego has an outstanding top and mint condition. It's Craig's List, make an offer and see what you can get it for. They always put a really high amount, hoping to get at least $900 to 1k for it.

Oh yea... did I mention this is San Diego, where gas is $6.00 a gallon. haha

I don't know if i would rather have the stock one with the better top or this other one with faber parts. I think I would go for the one with the parts because i know me and I would wind up spending the money on the faber parts anyways.. People are wierd though and would prob rather have the stock one....

I would pay 1k to 1.1k for this one on Craigs List around the corner from me all day long. You can't get a brand new one anymore and this one is pretty much brand new. Only $200 more than original price is not very bad for this particular guitar.

Well if you look at it that then yeah it's the smarter move. But if you are buying to play and not worry about resale value I like the other one for 900 with free shipping. I guess at this point they are going to be worth a lot more money in the long run if they are stock...

Yeah I seen that the other day but i wouldn't hold my breath. I honestly don't think there are ever going to get any in stock. But stranger things have happened I suppose.....

Guitar is back up for sale on Reverb. $750, $100 shipping.
He had it for 900 with free shipping a few days ago. So now he has lowered the price 50 bucks plus shipping... He must need the money or maybe he got a turd....

I talk to the other guy with the other one for sale. He's a regular over at that 59/Laz thread on FB. Guy was saying he wishes he never changed the bridge pieces over on his Laz. He's starting to realize that most people would rather have the shit stock. It's a shame too cause he is going to wind up selling that thing for a steal of a price. He just bought that thing not that long ago.....

Yeah, you should always keep the original parts in a drawer somewhere so you can put them back on if you want to sell the guitar. The upgraded parts don’t really add any value in the mind of a potential buyer. Any time I ever listed a guitar with upgraded parts, one of the first questions I get is “do you have the original parts?“ I was always confused by that, I’m offering you better stuff than stock here, what do you want the original stuff?

I always save all the stock parts when I do a guitar. Only thing that would hurt me is if I did the Faber E-serts on the guitar. They aren't coming out and if they do it anint going to be easy !! I told the guy to get himself a small whole bridge and take all the faber stuff off and put all the other stock parts back on the guitar. But yeah if you are unsure of a new guitar you just got and may sell it down the road?? I would deff consider not doing anything to the guitar until you are sure you are past selling it. Hopefully he doesn't take a big hit on the guitar. If it were me I would just keep it....

Another used one on GC... If you snooze, you'll lose!

And a nice top, for a change. (*Edit: modded pickups?

Used Lazarus
