has anyone ever seen this in stores?

I've owned 2 of these over the years. They sound great when strung as an 8 (not so much when strung as a 4), are available in medium scale only, and are well over $3k these days. Because of the price & the dated '80s hair-metal looks, demand for them is limited, and you will rarely (if ever) see one in a store. There is one on eBay as we speak, with bidding currently around $1k.
