    I wonder how much the reserve is.

    i have no idea. i have no idea what it's actually worth. but i've only ever seen one other one on ebay for about twice that.

    and, including cobains, i've only ever seen 3 original lefties.

    damn i wish i could buy it. my wife would probably be upset having it in bed between us though.

    i found another one online and some guitar store and it sold for 1900US so i guess this guy is too high. that one didn't have blocks or a bound neck though.

    2K really doesn't seem like a lot for something so rare. especially with the whole nirvana thing.

    nice. the wifey would get jealous when you go to the store to get 3 crates of preservation polish and forget the diapers for the other baby. :D
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    jaguars really slip through the fingers of collectors. They allways seem to be forgotten, because they are so far down the list from other Fender products for collection. But to find a lefthand Jaguar......you should almost buy that. I think i actually saw one in Edmonton over the weekend....it might have been a mustang, i wasn't really paying attention.

    But the Strat will always be there again, this seems like a once in a lifetime thing.

    i just can't. it's just bad timing. some day there is bound to be another.

    one time, there was a competition orange mustang lefty on ebay. as it was in switzerland, it was easier to resist.
