Surprised by how HEAVY it is, In good condition. The strings were VERY old. Nice sound. Missing original pushbutton covers.

What is the asking price?

I didn't discuss it... If you are seriously interested I can find out - PM me.

I am, but I'm not. With the guitars I currently have I can't be buying this right now. Just curiosity getting the better of me.

I wish I could walk into my favorite shops and see guitars like that...

This is NOT a normal shop. No new guitars. The main floor has all sub-$500, generally good, lower cost guitars. After a few YEARS of getting to know the owner I can now see the private stock that includes AMAZING guitars. Frequently I will pull out a case and he will say, "oh yea, I haven't strung that up and played it in 15 years". I bought my '64 Martin 016-NY here and also saw a vintage Gibson J45 and ES-150 that were tasty...
I also saw a nice F50R a couple of years ago, not sure where it is now...


So many guitars, so few $$.

I wonder how maddening a search six replacement pickup selector buttons would be... Unless round tele switch tips fit.

Hideglue had a bag of those...

By the way, which guitar shop is it in the SF area ??? Subway?
