Doing my normal rounds of neurotic guitar refreshing, reverb, guitar center online, market place etc., I saw it.
I saw an RGDR3127S, for $1599 on Guitar Center online. You might be thinking so what? That's not a crazy deal for a 3127S from 2020, what's the big deal?
My friends... it's the purple neon flat 3127s from Axe Palace. A special run with a unique color, birds eye maple fretboard with no inlays, reverse headstock and stainless steel frets. A 1 of 15 limited run!
Guitar Center didn't know it was a limited edition custom run and priced it like a normal used 3127s production. I can't believe it. I never thought I'd score one because they're so insanely rare and always at least $2400+ when they pop up. The only one on reverb currently is listed for $3500.
Absolutely insane win, I'm still shocked. I'll follow up with pics once I get it. Just wild, feeling so lucky.
