The Epiphone Blues Master VS that I have is a small guitar. Is that the same type you guys have? I just want to make sure we are talking about the same guitar. I called a music store in my town today, and the guy told me my Blues Master is worth about $150.00, so thats why I was wanting to make sure we were talking about the same guitar. $150.00 is a long way from $1500.00. Thanks, Stan
