Hi! This is my first post on the forum. Fell in love with an Aristocrat a couple years ago and have been looking for an M75 or M65 ever since.
Finally got my '57 Freshman yesterday - quite a story behind getting it.
I live in central TX, bought it off a fellow in northern CA. In the time between paying him and receiving the guitar, he moved, had his cell phone disconnected, and went to jail. Took 4 month of tracking him down to get it in the mail. When it got here, it needed some attention so I took it to my tech. He had laisk eye surgery that went horribly wrong and wound up keeping the guitar for another 2 month. But now it's here and amazing and I've finally got a reason to post on this wonderful board.
Cheers!
