I was in Phoenix yesterday on business and stopped by a pawn shop who had been running an ad on CL for this guitar:
They were asking $599. I have the label which came off when I got it home. Its from 1988 (SN JF3000485) and stamped Jun 1988 on the neck block. The poor thing was not taken care of; it's dirty, dry, scratched, has a small crack in the top above the fretboard at the sound hole, and some definite problems with top at the bridge. The neck was in great shape. The back and sides are gorgeous. And it has the original case. I got them down to $365 and took it home where it is now getting some much needed humidification. I'll take it over to the local luthier and see what he can do. Probably going to need frets too. Hopefully I can get it back in playing shape.
