$650 for a Sam Ash SL2H import neck thru

[titan7]

found one unplayed locally for $650, in Trans blue? Too much?

[MountainDog]

Considering they go for $1050 new without a case, I'd say $650 is pretty good for unplayed. Does it come with a case?

No they have a gig bag, It's the trans blue, not sure why I need is since I just got a USA SL2H in Cabo Blue.

The owner got it as part of the purchase of a timeshare?? She does not play.

[MountainDog]

If the owner got it as you said and doesn't play, they might not now the SamAsh new price, and/or you could tell her it's technically a used guitar and used sells for 1/2 store price and offer $500.

I guess I will give it a shot.

+1, the archtops were only blue and black (I haven't been in a SA for some time).

$650 doesn't sound too bad, but like you said, you just got an SL2H. Check it out, be very picky, make sure it is something you really want.

If you feel ambitious, you can stain the fretboard black, and replace the inlays with real MOP inlays.

Offer $575 cash. They are nice guitars though. Just tried out the Black one (which looks more dark gray IMHO) and I liked it.

It's essentially an archtop SL3 with H-H config, right?

Yes, and it also has ivoroid binding.

thats quite a steal, i paid 1100 for mine. I got a black one, well metallic black to be precise. Very good bang for buck though.
