QR Code Link to This Post
Looks 100% better I’ve dated it to a ‘67-‘69.my guess is a ‘68.
Lots of organic play wear!
Gives it a great vibe!
Can’t find a good 60s guitar for this price ?
Here it is.
Players guitar all the way!
Please look closely at the pic’s
Wear on the back of the neck and players wear on the front.
There is a name on the upper bass bout
Done a long time ago. Doesn’t detract
I think adds another layer history.
I have never figured it out.
But looks to be German.which makes some sense as they are made in Germany.
I replace the tuners with all parts cover 60s repros.(ones installed were wrong)
Another very odd thing is that this had a double pickguard. holes are hard to see due to the years of wear but they are a perfect match to its mate.
They didn’t make these with double PG’s
As far as I know. So could have been an employees one off.?
Has a modified bridge but similar to the original.
Plays great. Sounds pretty big due to the arched back.
Has great overtones. Has sort of a Tom Petty sound to it. Kind of a jangle.
