Found a 73' bluesbird in my house! Tell me just how lucky I am.

Gilded only knew one mantra, but you got the feeling he really, really, meant it.

Okay, who photo-shopped that headband on to my picture?? Hmmm? My personal headband always says, Peace Now. Really

What's his headband say? " "something" and acid tripping..."
BTW, nice introduction to new member Smooth of the famous "LTG veer".

I noticed the string not in the saddle yesterday, but yes I've been convinced not to refinish and it didn't take long to appreciate the guitar as is. I will be replacing the master volume pot, which is froze up and the input jack if it can't be fixed. I'll be looking for a master knob and possibly a pickup cover, but that's about it. Wow I love this guitar though. Thanks everyone for your info. You're all very helpful. I think I'll be a Guild player from now on. Also sorry about all the photo issues and thanks for hosting it correctly, I'm not sure how you even found that photo but thanks haha.

Good choice. Also, it's an output jack.

Here's a Nature Boy M-75 for sale on Reverb. I don't think the seller will get the price he/she wants, but this is just to give you an idea of what people think these guitars are worth:

I must admit, I rather like the NB finish on these.

You're absolutely right, and I knew that too. Haha. The sad thing is I'm an electrician with an electronics background, youd think I'd remember a conductor breaking magnetic flux GENERATES an electrical current. Thanks for your tactful correction.

I'll be looking for a master knob
