Jack · August 2006

Yeah, I saw that on ebay and wondered the same thing...for no good reason, the lack of a straight-on photo of the headstock made me leery. We'll see-I hope it is true!

pdaigle · August 2006

If I am not mistaking, the ebay seller spoodle0 is Collin Cosimini: I bought books from him a while back...it could be true.

thrip · August 2006

It is true - Colin had this guitar at the Gossington Festival - he told me he was going to sell it. I think he's got 3 at the moment!

Barengero · August 2006

It is interesting to see the very same guitar on ebay again, offered by a newbie from china for US $ 351,00!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 0015595247

Who wants to go for it?

Best,
Barengero

It seems as if Colin Cosiminis #314 Favino little by little is emerging as a real bestseller :
