G Jeffers, tell us the story of how you came to own it, and what you make of your guitar now. I personally would have bought that guitar for a decent price, and the patina would not have changed the way I thought of it one bit.

I got the guitar well south of $2k. Mike at Eclipse Guitars did the restoration work. We only fixed the headstock and jack mount. The rest we cleaned up. It has a tuneamatic bridge. Plays very well. I use it for comp work. It handles rockabilly well. |
