So yeah I bought it . Couldn’t stand it tormenting me anymore . Lol
Now the thing is what can I do with it ?
I see the strings will need replacing their bronze something or other but the bass strings look old . Action a bit high saddle height not great . But neck angle good .
It has a 1 3/4 nut but string spacing is tighter then my other guitars , neck width is about 1/8 inch narrower then my Blueridge at the 12th fret which I’m tuning the Timberline to and it’s a noticeable difference.
No doubt I will have an adjustment curve with this . My playing position will be a bugger as I put the lower bout on top of my leg . This obviously puts the sub bass strings pretty much in my face and totally blocks the lower neck . Lol
Forming some chords will be a problem . Funny how pro players make it look so easy . Lol
Well long fingers do help , I’m not so lucky in that regard.
Over all it looks well built so we’ll see how it goes .
