Oh, by the way, pictures of the guitar can be found here:

About 4 years ago, I came across a SG2000 in a store (I was looking for a Gordon Smith!). It was bloody gorgeous in every way; case, original paperwork, the lot. £450. Yep, £450. Now, this was late Saturday afternoon; had NO cash; the shop couldn't take a card as it was a 'private' for someone else. I said I'd be back first thing next day (well, Monday) with the cash.
Yeah, it had gone. Totally gutted! (and I think I saw the guy who did get it, he was lurking around as I was trying the guitar and talking to the staff).
Someone got a beautiful very classy guitar for peanuts that day.
Greta guitars.
I kind of had a similar experience. Back in 1989 the Yamaha music shop in Santiago de Chile went bankrupt, and they sold everything they had in stock for few bucks. There were amazing stuff there, drum sets, electric guitars, basses, acoustic guitars..everything. There I got my yahama sg600 for 70.000 chilean pesos (~£70). They also had sg800-1000 and 2000, the prices: 90.000, 110.000 and 150.000 pesos respectively. I did not know anything about guitars back then so I bought the cheapest one, that was the one I could afford having some money left to buy my self an epiphone amp. I get so pissed off every time I remember this, just thinking that if I didn't get that crappy amp I could have now a yamaha sg2000 from the 80's (or maybe from 70's who knows)...well, that's life...Originally Posted by TomShambollix
The way the world is going at the moment, there may well be lots of similar opportunities over the next months and years. Regrettably.
