Finally took some pictures of the S-100. (pictures here >>> http://picasaweb.google.com/utlucas/Gui ... irectlink#) Hope they illustrate some of what I'm talking about in this post -> viewtopic.php?f=4&t=11446
I got it from a craigslist ad all the way across the country for ~$940 shipped. It's in pretty decent condition, as far as I can tell. Certainly isn't mint, but a 35 year old guitar that doesn't have a few dings hasn't been used for what it was intended.
The neck volume knob seems to be a little higher than the rest and one tuner has been replaced, but that's about all i can find that might be non-original. Did all of them have the S-100 embossed on the truss rod cover (was mine replaced with a blank?). Is that small split in the neck joint normal? It doesn't look broken to me, just a small gap between pieces. See anything else that stands out as damaged/repaired/replaced?
I look forward to getting it cleaned up a little, and playing a lot, although it is certainly going to split time with the Taylor 514ce (what a great sounding guitar)...
Thanks for you help and advice...
