(..Sorry a bit of thread creep regarding the Zagar D-41)...With all the modifications to the originality (if made by a mere mortal which Mr. Z. obviously doesn't see himself as.. *G*) especically replacing the bridge and doing the additional scalloping of the braces - that would devalue the 41 by at least one third of its current (normal) street value. He's completely f--ked up the originality of the instrument. As it is an IRW guitar, has no significant appreciative value as it was manufactured after 1969 (the cutoff year for BRW). Under normal circumstances this guitar would currently fetch somewhere in the range (and I'm being generous) $2,500.00 - $3,500.00 U.S. As it is now, I would think a fair street price for it would be around $2350.00 plus the buyers expense of replacing the bridge with a Martin one, and a new compensated bone saddle, as well as removing and filling the area where the strap button is, and remounting in its proper place - on one side of the heel area. For such an amazing "luthier" I couldn't believe his placement of the strap pin!
