Comment by Blind Lemon Cello on May 8, 2013 at 9:00am: May have a lead on one, asking 1300$, your input is very helpful, BIG thanks!

Comment by the anonymous pick on May 8, 2013 at 8:56am: indeed those goild foil    pups are sweet !!!

ive seen   ss4ls go   from   300    to 1,500

although    500 to 800    seems to be the ,more average

Comment by the anonymous pick on May 8, 2013 at 8:24am: im thinking its a "kimberly" , made for a lesser known department store .

and thats the store's inv number , not the guitar model # .
