One interesting thing is at GC I keep seeing used S2 594 being priced like core. Some folks must be getting great trade in deals on their S2s by them mistaking them for core.
Well, As much I like my S2 594 Thinline, and as much as I am diggin' on the S2 .... 594 DC, I don't know how anyone could possibly mistake either for the "Core" version. The violin curve and fancier tops are dead giveaways so
I have not tried it yet, but to ask for a price on my instrument from a "Big Box" store, seems to be setting one's self up for an insult, as these guy buy at "wholesale" (recall the old adage about what happens to the price of your car, the minute you drive it off the lot)
They will lowball the heck out of you, and then hang it on the wall, with a tag double what they paid you for it ...
