Wow!
Just brought my latest investment home, no pictures yet... This guitar wasn't even on my wish list because I thought it would be too expensive (late 60's Starfire IV was at the top of my list). The quilt is stunning! Original black Gator case with Hunter Green crushed velvet inside. Two things... OK, three...
1) major ding in the back of the neck. Finish is not chipped off, but the edges are deep and the cracks there would go through to the wood. Any ideas how to fix this?
2) What kind of wax/cleaner/protectant should I use?
3) Anyone have any ideas about this guitar? Hans thinks 2001, I've heard there was a pre-Fender version too - what year(s) would that have been?
Since it's a 'Custom Shop' (#6 of 20), I'm hoping the quality of Nashville is all there without the Fender and financial distractions. So far I'm super happy with it - the only detractions are previous owner's dings. It currently has super light electric strings, I'll be replacing with medium acoustic, once I've had a chance to record a test and reference recording. Since this is in effect an acoustic guitar - I believe this is the right decision.
So... what would you have paid? (wait for the pictures!)
