Personally, I think his asking price is a bit high. $2500-2600 is more of the neighhborhood of this guitar. Yes, the black was a smaller run, but the demand just didn't come like it did for the original Red. An unplayed red one, maybe. I think I will wait a couple of days and submit an "offer". You never know.
