Is it? http://cgi.ebay.com/Modulus-Alembic-Blackknife-Strat-Graphite-neck-EMGs_W0QQitemZ120294668814QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGuitar?_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116 elwoodblue Senior Member Username: elwoodblue Post Number: 611 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Friday, December 12, 2008 - 3:33 am:    I've seen that one for sale at that price for over six months. I would guess market value would be considerably less. llobsterbass Junior Username: llobsterbass Post Number: 42 Registered: 5-2004 Posted on Friday, December 12, 2008 - 7:28 am:    These come up with on e-bay a few times a year. $2,500 is pretty steep unless it has some distinctive custom features, was owned by Bob Weir, etc. lbpesq Senior Member Username: lbpesq Post Number: 3417 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Friday, December 12, 2008 - 11:54 am:    The Blue Book price on this guitar ranges from $525 for "good" 60% condition, to $1050 for "excellent +" 95% condition, up to $1200 for "mint" 98% condition. This one has some mods and changed out parts, so $2500 is a bit much. AND IT'S GREEN. Bill, tgo
