I recently purchased this on eBay about 2 weeks ago and it's more of a project than I can take on. The pickup is not included (did not work and is gone). I began to remove some of the black finish around the headstock to where I found some of the original finish. The issue is the braces are loose and some have come off. I will post more pictures of the braces. When I bought it, I thought it would be ready to play, instead the braces were rattling/dangling inside and I know nothing about fixing braces. There is some tape Nd a horrible paint job. There are cracks. In some of the photos are snapshots of the original sale in which I purchased from as well as his original description. When the strings were on it, the neck looked good with plenty of saddle...please read his description or you can find it on completed sold items past month. Either way, we know these in great shape are around the 6-7 k mark. So here it is, for a fraction and for a luthier or someone knowledgeable in restoring this guitar. The guitar will be shipped from Washington or 10 miles from the Washington border in BC, Canada. It will be carefully packaged and cushioned all over in all the right places! Feel free to ask questions.
