Italia Classic Maranello - Modern Reissue - in Vegas for $250

This seller is offering one of the current reissue Maranello's for only $250. That is less than half of the selling price on Musician's Friend and IMO these are one of the coolest looking guitars on the planet. Everyone smiles when they see these.

Apparently these play very nicely and sound terrific. So I've been told.

I HAVE A ITALIA MARANELLO "CLASSIC" GUITAR IN MINT CONDITION. PLAYS AND SOUNDS GREAT. FLAMING METAL FLAKE RED WITH A BEAUTIFULL PEARL WHITE BACK AND HEADSTOCK.
NOT A SCRATCH ON IT. I JUST SET IT UP AND PUT A BRAND NEW SET OF ERNIE BALL .09 STRINGS ON IT. I SHOULD ALSO MENTION THIS IS A GREAT GUITAR FOR SLIDE. THESE GUITARS SELL FOR $580 ON EBAY. I HAVE TWO MANY GUITARS SO THIS ONES GOT TO GO. MY LOSS YOUR GAIN $250 TRADES CONSIDERED.

Maranello combines the flavour of the Sixties with the sound and playability demanded by today's musician. The AlnicoV "Vintage Voiced" Wilkinson Humbuckers mounted in their unique, floating pickguard provide a rich spectrum of tones.
The whole Maranello range are true workhorses-exquisitely styled yet built to survive the heaviest gigging-schedule. If creamy-blues, thick jazz or sizzling rock are among your repertoire then you should check the out. Many top artists already have, including virtuso blues guitarist Chris Rea, who plays a Maranello Classic.
