1968 EPIPHONE Texan "Special Order" guitar

Hello folks, this is a perhaps 1-off 1968 EPIPHONE Texan "Special Order", ultra crazy rare special order in see-thru Cherry finish (like a few J-45's) w/a factory White pickgard, 100% all original, sounds & plays fabulous!, 1st one we know of that has ever surfaced, excellent overall w/no mods or repairs ever, newer hard shell case included. I am now advertizing w/a store on E Bay. I am also running all my auctions w/a "best offer"option. I am finding most auctions to be filled w/fake bids pumping up prices to fictitious levels w/ shill bids. I think it is better to represent this guitar w/an honest outlook & not full of BS. If you are interested & want to make a fair offer, get in touch w/me anytime. Please don't lowball me if you are serious. It only makes me "not" want to negotiate with you the more unreasonable you are. If you are serious...I am open to real offers !!
