I mean talk about missing the forest for the trees.....
I don't want to say your wrong here but given opportunity cost your placing more value on a part that cost less than 5% of the total value of the guitar overall or even 2% or less......
If your not willing to see the value in a guitar relative to the market and in general because of bridge that cost peanuts compared to the value of the guitar overall then you don't understand opportunity cost and yeah it's obviously not something you would see value in unless it sells for the price of a used MIM I guess
Simply put given opportunity cost it's just an undeniable stupid deal and most would agree more than not that know what's up.
