It seems to say it was recently plated and engraved. His Spanish and mine have a little difficulty with some of his phrasing/word usage, but if you don't have the money to buy it, it is not for you, or so he says.

How do you say "bling" in Spanish?

Not exactly stock - I'm pretty sure the factory finger button caps are white, for one thing.

I agree with bloke...totally stock, except the finger buttons.

The stock buttons were all brass, were they not? With no inlay, or at least a brass-lookimg inlay?

[eupher61]

as are the curb feelers.

The air bag system and the skid plates are very cleverly hidden from view...

He forgot to add a couple things like spinners to that Low-Rider.

Get those top and bottom valve caps rotating in different directions while playing and at rest. Mesmerize audience members with your bell stack spinning clockwise & bell rim spinning much faster counter-clockwise. And who wouldn't want a mouthpiece rim made out of connecting chain links.

Dan! You should totally do this to your new 4-valve Yammy!

Thinking about it some more, it seems to me that if this is a truly Mexican website where it is posted, the price is maybe be not 30,000 US dollars, but 30,000 Mexican pesos. They use the $ in front of pesos. So if we look up the exchange rate, (excuse me a moment) I find that the current rate is 1 peso = 0.077 dollar. Therefore, 30,000 pesos equals 2295.75 dollars.

Does this make it anymore interesting to anyone?

Perhaps Liberace came back as a tuba player in another country?
