It's a reason as good as anyone!

I look at my "collection" and go: "hmm - sunburst, black, poo, natural...... I NEED some colours!"

It just arrived an hour ago in mint condition. What surprised me is that it was perfectly in tune and the action is good too. I'm going to have work on the intonation and the pickup height, but I'm not complaining at this price. The pickups are not too bad, I can get a beautiful tone with the neck pickup and some compression, they don't seem to handle distortion too well (which is odd as I expected humbuckers to come alive with distortion, these sound better clean) but I haven't heard it without headphones yet.

Maybe I'll take some pictures this weekend.

i have one already and have been searching for another with no luck

they do, just select 'other countries worldwide': http://www.musicstore.de/is-bin/INTERSH ... ault-Start

Choose the guitar, go to the checkout and if everything's right you'll get to see how much it will cost before ordering, if you don't I suggest you send an e-mail.

So, did anyone else buy one?

I bought one, played with it a bit, then I realised I already have 4 electrics and I'm not really going to use this one much... so I sold it a week later.

It wasn't completely useless though, cause now I've finally realised I don't need more guitars and I'm happy with what I've got. It's not a bad guitar either, it's very good for the money, but if I'm going to buy every guitar that's good value for money I should buy a warehouse first.

That is what I call value for money:

If you feel like it, I think they are legally compelled to sell at that price

THAT would be great! but usually errors are excepted.
the agreement of sale is what both parts are compelled to.

so put it in your basket, buy and wait for the email. then have a look what will appear in the agreement of sale :-)

nope.

just like the offered price is in a window front.

Yeah, my hopes were not too high (plus they could always pretend they are out of stock).

i guess in fact they ARE out of stock and this 0,0€ price is what happenes when someone messes around with the shop database, or something like that.
