Scored a 1970 F50 for $375 incl shipping

[Darryl Hattenhauer]

It ain't Braz, and it needs a neck reset, but what the heck.

For $375? Who cares what it needs! Unless somebody backed their car over it, anything you would need to do to bring it into exceptional playability condition would be worth it.

Do you know if she has a sister?

;~} Congratulations.

Chris,

The seller replaced it with a new F50. So in forty-four years, you could contact her and buy the one she just bought.

PS To make it playable, it might just need a new nut and saddle.

My Fallow Guilders,

This F50 has holes in the top where there was a soundhole pickup plus vol and tone controls. Would you leave it that way, or would you find the right pup and controls and put those on using the old holes?

[refret]

I'd plug them with spruce plugs. Lucky me has a set of plug cutters.....

 

[Westerly Wood]

I'd leave them. Sound ports. Nice grab, that is a great guitar.

 

[mavuser]

Nice! Where are the holes for the vol and tone controls, on the top, or the side? I say electrify it! If you are going to refurbish it anyway. Nice grab!
