I have been watching ebay, craigslist and ebay for over a year waiting for the right guitar to come along at a reasonable price and it finally did.
A couple of weeks ago a notification came in for a legacy special on ebay in a traditional auction format. Ebony fretboard, light tint neck and locking tuners in graphite metallic. That was pretty close to perfect for me. I put a bid on it and more or less forgot about it because getting to excited about a guitar on an auction site often leads to disappointment for me. I was sitting around watching TV one night and got a notification that I won the auction for a pretty good price. A few minutes later I received a message from the seller letting me know he could get it shipped out the next day.
The guitar came this week and it is amazing. It barely looks played.
I took it out today and took some pictures. It turns out, graphite metallic is a fairly hard color to photograph.
