Hi all-
This beauty popped up on CL about an hour out of town the other day and I was fortunate to have emailed first. The date's a little hard to pin down as the headstock has been double stamped, but a few folks have said either early 60's or late 50's. It had a break at the headstock that needed some attention and a whack in the binding around the 1st-2nd frets that needed looking at, too, so I just got it back late last week. The play wear on the instrument is amazing. Whoever played it must have been a soloist as it's down to the wood around the 12th fret, which I don't see very often.
Yesterday some sun came out, so I got some decent pictures. I'm very excited. I never thought I'd find one of these at a reasonable price.
