This was a nice guitar when I bought it so many years ago. I had it customized by the late, Eldon Stutzman of Rochester, NY who lowered the bridge and cleaned out the inside. That made it better, but after it spent about 35 years in its case standing upright in a closet, it became a great sounding guitar. It has only one scratch on it. I am loath to part with it, and I have never seen one priced at $2000, for example, but neither have I seen one advertised as near-mint. So, I think it might well be worth that price to someone who wants to step back in time to purchase a 1971 instrument. So, I am wondering what you might of the price and also, how one goes ago about finding the right buyer. Appreciate your advice.
