    This one has some repair issues but could be a deal. Anyone seen this?

    Does the bridge look original? Somewhat different from the bridge on my Sobell, which has a separate compensated saddle.

    Yikes, the "repairs" look frightening. I've read online that Sobells frequently have fingerboard cracks. This one has a nasty peghead break too. I suppose that was a nice price, but still...

    Sold for $2.5K. A bargain if the "fixes" were as good as the seller said, otherwise, well...

    Sounds like the original bridge is in the case.
