That guitar does say Super Eagle in the description though, it only says Golden Eagle in the title. "Up for auction is a 2011 Heritage Super Eagle (with custom upgrades) single pickup guitar in translucent cherry finish"

That is going to haunt my dreams, I know it......

Thank you Jim, I hadn't read it. So in reality it's a Super Eagle with a single routed pickup. Uhhhhh boy....that spells trouble!

The problem with buying on ebay is now sellers include the 10 percent Ebay fee into the sellers asking price. Can't blame 'em. But I don't like paying an additional $400 fee just to purchase a guitar on Ebay. Rare Super Eagle nonetheless!

edit - Seller now states this is a 17" lower bout Golden Eagle, not an 18" Super Eagle

pretty easy to tell if it's 17 or 18 just by looking @ the size of the pu in comparison to upper bout width, f hole placement etc..

Whatever it is, it is KILLING me lol. I could probably sell a synth or two, the PRS is gathering a bit of dust....

Seriously though, not to go too off topic here but is there anything to be worried about on that one? Other than wife induced injuries in the new owner?

I checked with the owner. 17" and Seth Lover.

Totally agree, except that these bozos aren't Californians. They squat there, but that's about as Californian as it gets with them (sadly).

Not at all that I can see.

I do know of only one other GE in that translucent Cherry finish. It was owned by the great Vince Lewis. Here it is...the poor lighting doesn't display the guitars true shading and or luster. Notice the reverse position of the tone and volume control from the guitar on eBay? Another Heritage "custom."
