| | | | Should I pull the trigger?
Hi fellow TBers! I have the opportunity to buy a Spector NS-2000/4 made in Korea for about $600. Does anyone own one of these? What do you think of them? Is it worth it?
Thanks! |

| | | | Thanks guys. We hardly ever see Spectors come up for sale here, and I haven't seen them in any shop. Nobody bid on it so I have been offered it for NZ$550 which would roughly be about 500 US |

They do have Maple neck through , brass nut and all the right curves . I love mine and never felt the need to swap the pups which often have a love/hate follow them around .  |

There's one for sale near me for $350. I could forward you the craigslist link if you'd like. |

| | | | Yeah, the issue is that I'm in New Zealand, so shipping would make it heaps more. I'll see if it gets relisted at a lower price. It does have some cosmetic issues, and it's missing a little chip off the fretboard next to one of the upper frets |

Nearly every day, someone asks about this stuff and after wasting everyone's time for twenty posts, he finally reveals he's in Turkey or Ecuador or someplace which makes the whole thing moot because nobody here has any idea what his local situation is. 
Think about it.
