For those that have ever wondered, What would Jorg do if he had an extra $615.94 laying around?
Wonder no more friends and neighbors, Jorg would happily plop down that princely sum for this. . .

Also, if Jorg had an extra $699.00, he would most likely own this. . .

Ohhhh, that Cardinal is just gorgeous!!

It would make a nice mate to my newly acquired trans white Vantage Avenger (just in case somebody would like to make me an early Xmas present! )

I also wonder what will happen to Jorg if Jorg keeps talking about himself in the third person.

I like the CS also. That Bowery is 20 minutes away from me.

I was watching this and somewhat surprised that it went within 3 days.

Jorg, you're in luck. That eBay listing is pretty steep for a Bowery. I would ask the morons for more pics. Pics sell guitars but these guys are still in the stone age and stuck on brick and mortar. I've seen them go for between $350 and $450 in good shape.

I just got (and getting rid of) a Brownsville Impala a lot like that Bowery. It has Rickenbacker style toaster pickups and I realized they aren't my style. I guess I'm just not a jangly kind of guy. A lot of watchers but nobody's taken the bait yet. I refuse to go below $224. Any less and I'll give it away to a friend.

The listing for that VSH was ended, not sold. It could have been sold locally as they are a physical music store.

They have a Cardinal I'd like to have and a Hohner DC as well but darn sure not at their prices. The Cardinal is in rather rough shape. The phase switch is damaged, it has its share of dings and it has a mis-matched saddle on the low E. Maybe I should offer to sell them the switch and saddle for $150? Seems in line with their pricing.

$1,414.11CAD for me + Shipping

Holy Cr@p!

I see, it does say Ended on that VSH. I didn't notice that. They probably got close to what they wanted for it to go that fast.

Jorg believes he might have forgone the CS and Bowery to get that 455. Wow, you just don't see those in that shape anymore.
Jorg wouldn't actually spend that much on either of those 2 guitars unless money was no object. That particular link to the Bowery was used only because it was a better pic.
The $400 at GC sounds more in line. Bowery demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avRnVv_NePg
Jorg has wanted several white CS guitars over the years but timing hasn't been right just yet. Yet. . .

UPDATE:
Jorg discovered why he liked the sound of that Bowery so much. . .
It sounds a LOT like his Vantage Entertainer.
