This poor thing has definitely seen better days. And what's that shiny stuff on the fingerboard? $399 and it's yours!

And no, Kurt Cobain did not play a CS-350. It was a CS-250.

Heavy finish damage, tuners replaced, bridge replaced and I doubt they filled the old bridge cavity, and coil cut switch is broken. Maybe it was Cobain's.

and it'll take drugs to pay 399 for it

At least they're up front with lots of pictures of the abuse this poor old thing has endured!
Most of it unnecessarily methinks.

And US$399?! I think not.

There's a CS-350 See Thru Blue on Reverb they are asking $449 for, PLUS $100 shipping. One of the saddles is incorrect, the phase switch is damaged and it has dings throughout. Not happening. This store refuses to use UPS so they use FedEx at a much higher rate. I'd go $275 with REASONABLE shipping considering the work I'd have to do.

Sheesh! You'd think that if you needed to replace a saddle that at the very least you'd match the colour if not the style!

And what the heck was the owner doing to create so many dings on the edges, chopping broccoli??

The trans blue is my favourite finish on these. But a bugger to touch up.
