... THIS IS A GENUINE ROAD WARRIOR........ I KNEW THE PREVIOUS TWO OWNERS, ONE WAS A FOLKIE AND ONE WAS A HARD CORE BLUES GUY. ALL ORIGINAL EXCEPT REPLACED BRIDGE AND PICKGUARD. PROBABLY HAD A NECK RESET AT ONE TIME REQUIRING THE REPLACEMENT BRIDGE. GOOD PLAYER, HAS VERY MINIMAL FRET AND FRETBOARD WEAR. TOP HAS SEVERAL GRAIN CRACKS THAT ARE REPAIRED. HAS REPAIRED CRACKS FROM EDGE OF BRIDGE AND A CRACK FROM THE EDGE OF PICKGUARD TO THE OUTER EDGE OF BRIDGE. HAS A CRUNCH ON THE TOP THAT IS REPAIRED. ALL THE TOP REPAIRS WERE TOUCHED UP, BUFFED UP AND ARE HARD TO SEE. HAS A NEW LARGER BRIDGE PLATE. THE BACK AND SIDES AND THE BACK OF NECK WERE REFINISHED AT SOME TIME. IT WAS A VERY LONG TIME AGO BECAUSE THE FINISH ON THE SIDES IS CRAZING. ON THE BACK OF THE GUITAR THERE ARE SEVERAL CRACKS ON THE VERY EDGE THAT I'M THINKING ARE OLD GRAIN CRACKS COMING THROUGH THE NEWER FINISH. AROUND THE NECK HEEL THERE IS SOME CRACKING IN THE FINISH I THINK BECAUSE THEY OVERSPRAYED OVER A TOUCH UP FROM WHEN THE NECK WAS RESET. I CAN'T MAKE OUT THE NUMBER ON THE NECK BLOCK CLEARLY SOME I'M DATING THIS GUITAR BY THE FACT THAT IT HAS THE TALL BACK BRACES AND THE SHORTER TOP BRACES. HAS THE LARGER FRETS. GUITAR COULD EVEN BE AN EARLIER MODEL BECAUSE THE GUITAR WAS USED WHEN THE GUYS I KNEW PURCHASED IT. ALL THE REPAIRS AND THE REFINISHING WERE DONE LONG BEFORE THE OLD GUITAR MANIA TOOK OVER THE GUITAR WORLD. THIS OLD GUITAR IS SOLID AND SOUNDS GOOD. SHE PRESENTS HERSELF VERY WELL. THE ORIGINAL CASE IS LONG GONE BUT I WILL SHIP IT IN A 90'S CANADIAN CASE THAT PROTECTS THE GUITAR VERY WELL............ PLEASE LOOK THE PICTURES OVER CAREFULLY................ HAVE QUESTIONS? PLEASE ASK. NEED MORE PHOTOS? JUST LET US KNOW. WE WANT TO BE A HELP.WE SELL OUR GUITARS "AS IS". WE'RE ASSUMING THAT YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH VINTAGE GUITARS. WE TRY AND DESCRIBE OUR INSTRUMENTS AS ACCURATELY AS POSSIBLE. WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO ASK QUESTIONS. IF YOU NEED MORE PHOTOS JUST LET US KNOW.

WE THINK THAT'S A WIN/WIN.WE LOVE OLD GUITARS AND WE WANT YOU TO LOVE THEM ALSO.
