Can you believe I got it for $300 at a pawn shop? I wasn’t sure if it was valuable, it looked like $50 guitar so I did a quick google search, and saw that one sold at reverb for over $2000. I grabbed it and offered $200 and he almost let it go, but he saw me googling and he did the same. Now he claimed he got that guitar for $600 and that was his bottom price. I walked away. For nearly a month we went back and forth until he folded at $300.
That’s when I took her home. The frets and hardware were heavily oxidized, and I wasn’t sure if that was the original pickup, but when I opened the pickguard, I was relieved that it was the original pickup. A few hours of TLC and she looked almost showroom new if it wasn’t for the paint chips here and there and the pick strikes on the pickguard. This guitar was no case queen that’s for sure!
