Hi all.
I found this forum while seeking out a B-301. Still haven't found one, but found a 302. I had a '79 301 that was in as close to perfect condition as can be imagined for the age. I had to sell it unfortunately but am now looking for a replacement. The 1 or 2 that are out there are either highly (and terribly) modified or wildly overpriced. The 302 that I found has cracks in the lacquer on the head stock Seller states that they are in the finish only. It seems like it's pretty common , but I have also seen a couple where the head stock has been repaired.
Any thoughts on the head stocks themselves cracking? Is it a "thing" or is it likely just the finish as stated?
