Sold 1981 M-80

[AcornHouse]

Next on the block is a 1981 M-80. Yes, it’s heavy. But it’s also super comfortable. A couple of small dings, a patch of buckle rash, and a patch of worn finish on the neck where it rested on the cross support in the case. See the Reverb ad for the Salesman spiel and more pics.
$900 shipped and friends & family PP or Zelle to LTGers in good standing.

Only one row of adjustable pole pieces on the Californias!

California ("gloss" black, square red hole on leftside of pickup) vs XR-7 (a bit more greyish, round red hole):




The later XR-7 models say GUILD on them:

Beauty of a 'burst!

I love that model. Sadly, I’m in gear reduction mode in order to preserve my marriage.
