wow. i've always wanted a hi fli. for that cool mid-70's steve hackett genesis guitar tone that you can't get anyplace else.
ReplyDeletebut starting bid $4500? and the only picture of the item is one he stole from the EMS website? umm, i think maybe i'll pass...
And "0" Feedback too! Risky Risky Risky!
ReplyDeleteGonna watch this one even after it ends. I've seen totally fraudelent looking auctions get bought then good feedback on both sides.
Love to have one but a seller with 0 feedback, a stock picture, and information that is pretty much canned doesn't create confidence.
ReplyDeleteoh please.. if anyone is stupid enough to bid on this they deserve to be ripped
ReplyDeletehi everybody
ReplyDeletei have one in perfect condition for sale
i live in france
so if you are interesting i will put it on ebay this week
I received the hi fli today! It is real and in pretty darn good shape. The board is a little loose. Needs a little TLC. Does anyone have a schematic so I can have it tuned/serviced.
ReplyDeleteHi, I have schematics, contact me on my email address
