Author Message   Mitch236 Username: Mitch236 Registered: 7-2007 Posted on Thursday, September 20, 2007 - 2:35 pm:    Why is it that I can't find an MC 400 NT no matter how hard I look? Are they that rare? I haven't found one (except for the one that had a natural headstock). Surely there must be someone out there that would part with theirs!! What do I have to do to get one???   Mr_roadstar Username: Mr_roadstar Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Thursday, September 20, 2007 - 4:23 pm:    Patience, Grasshopper. I spent 10 years looking for replacement RS1400.

And, if you're after an mc400... why not just get an mc500 instead? They also pop up from time to time.   Mitch236 Username: Mitch236 Registered: 7-2007 Posted on Friday, September 21, 2007 - 8:49 am:    Bob, I have posted on the classified section. I want an MC400 because of sentimental reasons. It was my main guitar during my years as a professional musician and I sold mine right after I quit the band because I needed money and now I regret letting go. As you know, it is nearly impossible to find a perfect guitar. Some come very close (for me, PRS) but my memories of the 400 are that it was as perfect for me as they come (at least the playablility). Maybe my memories are clouded by nostalgia a bit... I surely was a much better player then as well. Are there any other places to look besides EBay, and GBase?   Cmangeot Username: Cmangeot Registered: 4-2005 Posted on Friday, September 21, 2007 - 8:56 am:    Saw one here in Cincinnati last month at a guitar show. Natural headstock. Pretty. $1000.00. Too much.   Brentm Username: Brentm Registered: 3-2005 Posted on Friday, September 21, 2007 - 9:04 am:    Sorry Mitch - you were like two weeks too late when I let mine go on eBay. It was a fantastic guitar... They turn up from time to time, just be patient. A watched pot never boils.   Chucke99 Username: Chucke99 Registered: 2-2007 Posted on Friday, September 21, 2007 - 2:28 pm:    Mitch, I feel your pain. However, I simultaneously hope you find one AND hope that they are extremely rare, because I want mine to go up in value. In my mind, they're worth what the 2622's or 2630's are worth, at the very least. $1,000 is too much? No! $1,500 is too little! Brent, what did yours go for? Wasn't it something like $1,100? -Chuck   Bobzilla Username: Bobzilla Registered: 2-2005 Posted on Friday, September 21, 2007 - 3:20 pm:    I would think $1000 is reasonable. Pretty decent actually.   Brentm Username: Brentm Registered: 3-2005 Posted on Friday, September 21, 2007 - 6:47 pm:    Yeah, sadly, I parted ways with her. I think the auction closed for about $1100. Thanks to that and my Hohner Prinz (and a couple other guitar sales), I now have a 1959 Fender Bandmaster.
