This lefty just showed up on Sam Ash used site for $375 + $15 shipping. I have a Westbury and think they're great guitars - very distinct pickups. If I didn't already have one, I'd go for this.

7 months without a guitar purchase for me! (The wife threatening to kill me may have had something to do with it.)

It's a rare opportunity to have a new(ish) guitar with real goldfoils. Congratulations!

UPDATE
It arrived Friday but I just had a chance to open it a little while ago. It's an extremely high quality instrument and while it was only a cursory inspection, primarily for shipping damage, I'd have to say it has a build quality pretty much equal to anything else I have. Again, not a lot of time invested in it but plugged in primarily to make sure the electronics were working correctly, the pickups are extremely articulate. All things considered, $390 shipped with the OHC (which is a quality piece as well) is a bargain. Generally speaking, I think that a lot of these reissue models are overpriced at list but not this one, it is a professional grade instrument.
The original listing referenced nicks and scratches but I couldn't find any. I wonder if they just said that to cover themselves against any minor shipping damage or finicky buyers. This one is pretty much in Like New condition.
I'll try to take some pics tomorrow in natural light and post...
