Sold 1974’ F50 Maple $1800 plus shipping

Muckman · Mar 2, 2023

This was a guitar I picked up by chance, last summer. It had an ugly scratch across the top and significant cowboy chord wear on the frets. I bought a nice flight case for the shipping and sent it to Tom "Fixit" to get her a clean bill of health. The neck angle and action are great, frets are brand new, along with the saddle and nut. I played it this morning and noticed the very first fret, only on the low E, has some buzz, slight when you play an F chord can be heard clearly playing the low F by itself. The neck relief is good, entire setup is just as Tom sent it back to me. He stabilized a small top crack, also he cleaned up and sealed the scratch before giving her a nice clean and buff. There is a small section of fretboard trim that was professionally replaced at some point prior to me owning it and it has some small cracks in the FB binding from shrinkage, though none is missing. The neck is a laminated maple with some flame to it and looks to have been stained to a mahogany color at the factory. Minus the repaired cosmetic damage on the top and binding cracks, the guitar is in great condition cosmetically. The only listings I could find for these, currently, were in Japan for $3500 and there was a 77' listed here for $1950 a while back. My asking price is what I have in this guitar, including the case and the repair work.
