I recently received the 1968 F312 I purchased on eBay. It is just what I expected. Well played with some wear damage, and in need of a neck reset. It also appears to be in original condition with no major issues that I can see. I will post pictures when I get a chance.
Even with very old strings on it, which I tuned to D (to be safe), I can tell this guitar has great tone, quite unique from my other guitars, which are different shapes, sizes and woods.
i will take it in for a thorough assessment within the next few weeks and do whatever work is necessary. I think the big issue will be how much, if any, refinishing work will be necessary or required, and I welcome opinions based on the pictures.
