    There sure have been some great prices on snakeheads in the classifieds (and in a few other places). What's going on here? Who ever buys one of these bargains, please give us a review.

    I just sealed the deal on the most recent snakehead AJr in the classifieds.

    I'll be sure and post a full review once I get my hands on it!

    I'm excited. Its my first vintage instrument.

    As soon as my company repays me owed money, as I took a huge paycut in the form of a loan a few months ago, I am buying a '23 A2 snakehead w/tortoise back binding from a friend. I've been casually checking out ovals new and old and so far none has come close to the tone of this one.

    I bought the 1926 A. Jr. #197 in the classifieds yesterday. I'll post back later after I receive it.
