also, can anyone explain why a checkmate g 245 would sell for $237 on ebay? it does have pretty zebra-like striping. would that be what drives it up so much?
here is description from ebay listing:
"This is an old Checkmate Acoustic Guitar in almost mint condition. I don't know what kind of wood this is, but it looks like zebra wood on the back and sides. The top looks like Spruce. The neck looks like Maple. It has a stamp inside the sound hole on a brace that shows 46.9.28. I could not find a serial number. The model number is G 245. It has a metal name plate on the head stock. It has a truss rod and the neck is very straight. There are MOP inlay markers on the fret board. There are no cracks, seperations, chips, or dings on it. There is no bowing anywhere. It has made in Japan on the label in the sound hole. I put a set of Elixir light strings on it and it has an awesome sound and low action. There is very little fret wear at all. Hasn't been played much. Someone took really good care of this guitar. The saddle is adjustable. This guitar measures 39 1/2" L X 14 1/4" W X 4 1/4"D. I will include a cardboard case with the guitar. It has several nicks and scars but will protect the guitar really well. This must have been one of the Checkmate high end guitars.(Don't know for sure). This will make someone a great collectible. This is one awesome looking instrument. Check out the pictures and if you have any questions please contact me and I will get back to you. Thanks for being interested. "
