Michael Kelly B Stock on Ebay

[mandotrev]

Is this a good deal? Sounds like a decent sounding instrument on youtube. The list price is much higher, though I know that can be meaningless. There is a lot of MK B stock on ebay, making me wonder if they made any A stock this year.

I think you have to play these in person.
I ordered a top of the line Michael Kelly dragonfly only to send it right back. It looked cool from about 5 feet and that is all I can say for it.
I have a friend in a band who has something like the one you point to on eBay and it does the job for him.
I like that the seller has lots of good reviews.
The price is in the range I've seen for these instruments.

I agree about the inconsistency of these but, if you hate it, you could probably resell it without totally taking a bath. I don't know if it's the super-thick lacquer or what, but these can look (and sound) 'plastic'. The materials themselves are nice and the instruments are very solidly-built. For the price, they do some nice electric guitars too (I know, such a ringing endorsement...).
