Back on the market... $1500 + shipping for CONUS.
This guitar is in excellent condition. Everything sounds great and plays wonderfully. The neck and frets are in good shape. Cosmetically, it looks awesome for such an old instrument. There are a few small blemishes and a little wear here and there but nothing major. The binding is in really good shape too.
The only thing worth mentioning is that the end of the Bigsby was coming loose, so I took it to a local tech for repair. He installed dowels in the holes and re-drilled. The bottom screw was replaced by one that is a bit longer but the same diameter - therefore making for a better fit. Also, I doubt the frets are original. However, they are relatively thin, very comfortable, and have plenty of life left. So, with that in mind, it is not 100% original, but obviously much better off.
In 2009 I had this guitar appraised by Gruhn. A copy of his appraisal is in the link below. It provides a great description of the guitar. I'm not a gigging musician, so the guitar hasn't left my house much. Nothing has changed since the appraisal with the exception of the Bigsby repair stated above.
