My $183.50 Lo Prinzi arrived today, and it is pretty much as advertised on eBay. A couple of unanticipated, but not surprising, problems. It buzzes pretty badly above the 10th or 11th fret (strung with .011s) and there was some sticky residue on the back of the neck. The latter was may be from whatever glue was used to reglue the broken headstock, although it seems to come off with just a few swipes. When doing the 1st to 14th fret neck fret, it seems to be about right by the naked eye, but observation of some of the higher frets seem to be a little high and have a noticeable space on their underside, so maybe all they need is to be reseated. I'll also try going to .012s or .013s and see what happens. The headstock break seems well glued, although very sloppy.
It might clean up with some work, might want to be unglued and reglued for the best cosmetic look. It sounds ok for a $200 guitar, though, so I guess overall it's a good deal, even if I keepit as a beater.
