Early P Reissue

I find it slightly scary when Elderly says something needs a setup and lists "as-is".

meh...elderly is a good company from my experience. They take a few days to ship out, whereas the big retailers usually do so the next day, so you have to a little more patient than usual. But it's as close as you can get to big store prices, but still retaining the "mom & pop" mentality when it comes to customer service, price matching the big stores, etc.

Summation: nothing fishy there it seems. just needs a setup.

I'm somewhat tempted to call and see what specific info I could get out of them, but without it in writing I would never buy this. Which is saying something, since if this were on eBay and didn't have the "as is" part I would buy it in a second. Elderly usually has their vintage instruments overpriced and without any "as is" in the descriptions, this seems highly unusual to me, just trying to put out the caveat emptor

They said i have 48 hours to check it over and return it, regardless of sold as is. Pulled the trigger. Ill let you guys know what shape its in when it gets here. Looking at their other "as is" items, they seem to be pretty detailed about what it needs, so a setup and fret dress is not too big of a deal. But, well see. Thanks for the heads up.
