When Buffet first came out with the angled neck, I purchased one for $600
(a lot!) - but it made a difference for me. I still have the non-angled
neck that came with that Buffet - and it had custom work done on it by
Brannen as well as having a really cool spit valve on it. I would love to
sell it to someone - inexpensively.
