Darkback GT at Daves
A darkback '57 RI Goldtop just showed up at Dave's, for anyone interested.

How does it look Dave, I hear the backs are kindof an oxblood color.

$2295
#7 1454 It has a very dark brown (to me) back, identical to the Betts. Put some Grovers on it and save $3200.  spin |

Is it me or does the Betts model seem a little over priced?

Yes, the Betts is overpriced if you compare it to pricing on regular goldtops with dark backs (as Dave mentioned, about $2,300) or even "aged" goldtops, which go for about $3,800. The premium price represents the "pizazz" for it being a limited edition, which is clearly an intangible element. That's "marketing" for you....

Way overpriced, imo.
