Hi Folks,
First post here - I'll try to keep it short and there is a picture for now.
I traded in my sax for a guitar in the late 70's and went through a Vantage, Guild SBE (don't recall the model but would recognize a pic), and a rickenbacker and then finally found home in a '66 Gibson 330. A similar path lead to a '64 J-45 on the acoustic side. Those were both stolen in the late '80s. I managed to grab a '52 LC-1 at the time, but the 330 always outpaced my pecunity and I ended up piling up various modern junk that really sucked and upgraded pickups etc. until recently getting the T100.
Ok, for something you are probably much more interested in, here is the story. Purchased from a classified ad in OR with a cashiers check for $950. You are not suppsed to do that BTW, it says so right on the ad. Was originally purchased for the 1st owners son, he played CDG for 8 years then left it under her bed. 25 years later, the advertizer bought it and didn't pick it up (he played organ in the church blah blah, sounded like BS at first). He had it strung with .08s for another 15 years under his bed.
The pickup looks too white - anyone?? It sounds unpotted but I don't want to be hopefully the first to take it out. I definately prefer the other tail piece but this appears stock.
No setup or fretwork will be needed, it has one issue with the binding shrinking away from the cutout and that is it. Frets are as new, all I have done here is clean them with an eraser and wiped it all with a dry microfiber cloth.
It has the painted logo, but my playing isn't exactly Bling anyways. The nut looks like bone with slanted cuts.
