Here's the link, what d'ya all think of this then? I bid on it the first time it came on so something's happened to make them put it on again.
On checking the pics it looks like a Pakistani Flat-Back to me!!! Worth a shot!!!

If it was in my neighborhood I'd go for it, just as a little project instrument. It doesn't look terribly modern to me...seems most of the firewood "junk" sitars that are churned out all have a similar basic design that includes taraf so my guess that even if this is a bit of a cheapie its an old and unique cheapie. For 5 quid I think I'd risk it. If it really is abysmal junk then at least you could barbeque with it...

The seller said the buyer decided it was too far for them to collect it so declined it, the seller had a pick up yourself re postage on it. I can take a bus down to Birmingham & asked before, if I win, we could meet the main bus station & he/she agreed. We'll see.
