Mark V on Reverb

[bobdcat]

No affiliation. Thought somebody might buy this before my temptation gets the better of me. But, my '63 Mark IV is everything a classical guitar needs to be.

1967, or maybe 1968 Mark V

Serial number is CE223, which is a little higher than the last "official" 1967 Mark V number of CE195.
Offered by Cole Music in Spokane, WA.

Interesting, strap button on the neck, but not (visible at least) on the bottom.

Yeah, I noticed that. Must have been owned by a folkie rather than a classical player. Wouldn't be a deal killer for me, though.

Me neither, just curious if there's only the one and why? Was the other removed or in a different place than usual.

Might just be in the case. Or lost. I imagine the hole is still there for it. The closeup of the back looks like it might just be showing the tip of the endpin. Hard to tell, but it's the only angle that may show it.

Looks like it sold. Whew! I almost gave in!

Maybe the strap was a loop around the body and the neck strap button was there just to keep the loop in place.
