Hey Richard,
$400 doesn't seem too bad and the Cyclone II seems like a nifty little
guitar. I can tell you that I like those American RI Jag pickups...they are
nice.
However, I would be very hesitant to make an "off-Ebay" deal with a guy with
a feedback rating of 2. If you really want to do it, have the guy re-list
the item with a $400 minimum or buy-it now price. At least then Ebay can get
involved if things go sour.
Whoops, I just clicked on his feedback, and he's got a negative
comment.....!
I almost got burned once doing one of those off-Ebay deals. Luckily I
canceled the money order just in time (it had already been sent out).
Good luck. I too would wait for NAMM and see what rolls out. You may be
kicking yourself, you never know.
