Do want!
Ah well, missed out on it due to some last minute zero feedback bidder. I figured it was probably a shill bidder so didn't play that game ;-)
There was one other bid in-between but it'll be interesting if it comes back around...
between this listing and the N5 cream last week that sold for under $600 I am just floored by some of these low prices.
I can't believe what has happened to the davies era market for these.
the body on the python was a solid 1 piece quilted mahogany
somewhere in the neighborhood of 22 were built. 15 went to japan, 1 or 2 to Europe, we had 2 and another couple stayed in the usa
the scales were covered with lacquer so they wouldn't flake off like warren demartini's charvels have, but they still do flake off.
they have the older spec, wider neck, thinner, more U shaped profile. Nice guitars.
the python skin was from an indonesian government owned snake farm (harvested to eat and skins sold off) I have seen these skins prior to being cut down for the bodies. The freaking snakes are HUGE.
they caught some crap for using animal skins and quietly did away with them
