So I've wanted one of these guitars passively for about 14 years. Actually held one and passed on it in 1997 because I didn't know how hard they were to find. Plus, I was 2000 miles from home on a job interview, and still in school so didn't have the money for it.
Just learned a few years ago just how rare they are and been looking around for one ever since. Got sniped on a few auctions. Really had no business spending the money on it, but things have gone my way recently in terms of selling a real nice guitar that I rarely played (12 string acoustic) so that cleared most of the funds for this purchase. The little rash above the neck pickup looks a lot worse in the picture than it really is. Almost no "texture" to it, so it should smooth out/clean up with a bit of TLC and tung oil nicely. A few other dings here and there, but overall it's been taken care of very well.
The guitar plays like a champ. Unbelievable.
Big thanks to Frantick for helping me locate this beauty!!!
