Hey guys, there is a Corona built F412 that says USED on the back of the headstock. I'm guessing a factory refurb? Should I stay away from a model like this? What sort of value should I look at for said guitar.
Yeah, I've been watching that one. I won't be bidding on it though. I'm overbought at the moment. I just like to keep tabs. :tiger:
It is refurbished. Otherwise, the ad says all the right things - neck angle good, original saddle, etc. The back looks spectacular. He admits there is some fret wear, where he played it heavy the first year, then hardly at all since. It is unstated why it was sold to the refurbish plant, but the seller sort of implies there may be some minor cosmetic issues. The high end of the ebony fretboard sure looks like it needs a serious cleaning or something... otherwise it could very well be a very nice, full-bodied Corona-built F-412. Will be interesting to see how that bidding goes. :sentimental:
And there's ~3 hours left in that auction....
