Yeah it's a parlour size guitar. I probably paid over the odds but it was the guitar I wanted so it's all relative. I bought it on e-bay. As I've said before I've owned three. 1 got nicked the second I ended up selling when I was out of work. I regretted selling it and wanted another one so when the current one came up I just wanted to buy it. The UK is notorious for what is termed 'rip off Britain' and guitars are cheaper in the States. When I purchased the first one around 10 years ago new it was around £400. The second which was paid for by insurance was about £450-£475. Like I said only 500 were made so there value to those who want one is bound to increase.
