From the seller
Heavy ash body, natural finish with yellowing. Bridge saddles replaced with brass. Not the original case. Neck is straight and the truss rod has room.
Before you buy
- Compare the serial photo with the serial above, and the headstock and neck heel with the maker's details for that year. Our guide to spotting fakes has a checklist.
- Check the serial against stolen-gear registries before paying cash anywhere; here the payment is held for you.
- Film yourself opening the box. It helps if anything is wrong.
