I’ve been fairly content with my ‘68 D35 ... but I keep perusing Reverb for entertainment and saw this listed for $899.
I sent in what I thought was a lowball offer of $600, which was promptly accepted (actually started with $500, which was auto rejected ha).
The description reads “It plays. What can I say. It sounds great.
Now for the depressing stuff. Underneath the pickguard, the body is caving in slowly. The bridge is starting to pull up. There are SEVERAL dings and cracks in the body of the guitar. The headstock has a chip out of it tip.”
Thing is, this guitar looked very familiar to me, even the serial number. After searching around, I realized I was in talks with a fellow to buy this a couple years back, and had also seen it listed on Reverb before that.
While it has tons of battle scars, the neck was reset and all of the cracks addressed, along with some overspray I believe. This is according to the descriptions as of 2019.
Somehow it ended up in Eureka, CA without the original hard shell case it was with before. I’ll see what condition its condition is in when I receive it. I’m in Oakland, so I imagine it’ll only be a day or two in transit and looks like it’s going out today. Fingers crossed.
