I Swear I'm Not Gonna Buy This Guitar, But You Could Buy It

Almost seven years ago, I wrote a paean to the awkwardly-named uber-Matsumokus named "Skylark" and sold by JC Penney department stores. Well, there's a perfect example of the big-dog model on Reverb right now. The seller says he won't take a penny under $800.
If I buy this thing, it will go in my steel-shelf archives with over one hundred of its closest relatives. If you buy it, you would have an absolutely first-rate guitar for the same price as a new Chinese Fender. Someone should play it. There's no sense in saving it for the future. Who will care about guitars in an era where most people can't be bothered to learn an instrument?
Maybe you don't want to spend that much. So here's an offer which I might repeat in the future but might not: For $299 net Paypal or Venmo, I'll ship you a very nice Japanese guitar which will only need a quick setup and a change of strings to play pretty well. I have some duplicates I've been meaning to shuck off. Stuff like these. My purpose here is to spread the gospel of Matsumoku guitars. If you want to spend more than that, let me know. If you want to spend $800, skip me and buy that SKylark. That's all, folks!
