And no, I won't be buying it!  Just couldn't believe another had come up at a great price so soon after mine!

£1499

Thanks Fernando, I think so too.  Plus for some reason moons don't seem to suit this colour.  Can't decide why!  The birds look so much better to my eyes!

I'm still trying to work out how I can get hold of a Modern Eagle by the way  ;)

Hummm just one pic :? I think he should at least show the tag where it's write "brazilian rosewood" ask can be tricky for most people to see the difference (and he doesn't show a pic and think that just a very near pic or alive to see the difference)

But I think that the price it's now is probably fair, even if it was Indian Rosewood, even more being that old, perhaps is even before they go for mass production :)

I like :cry:

I'm sure it was a 2001 not 1991 - he probably saw the 1 at the start of the serial number and went from that.

Pretty much, but I don't think it's a wise move start with a PRS, saying BR neck and without pics or pic of the tag... it's like 3 things weird and it's too much for ebay thing, for me at least :D

yeah, exactly. i don't have much feedback thus far, but i'm a buyer rather than a seller, and also i wouldn't try to sell something really expensive with low feedback...

Bidding has ended now. I would have been very apprehensive about buying it. But if it was what it said, i would've loved it!

Also about original post. Damn you Twinfan! You are making me GAS like crazy for one of those. Would prefer a singlecut though...

Almost certainly a scam.

For a start, PRS didn't make a singlecut in 1991... or BRW necked instruments... Zero feedback, low start price, avoid like the plague.
