I found one of these broken in a guitar shop about 10 years ago. After a truss rod replacement and fret dressing, this has become the only guitar I will never part with. I copy this neck for custom guitars that I build. Wow! - jeff - 2009-09-10
I just found one of these models, complete with all nickel hardware, it was pretty beat up and modified with a pick-up. A real hack job. Brought it to Springmeyers in Oakville, CT for resurrecting. Hope to patch up all holes and get back to original. The neck had been sawed off at the heal, lost hope then, but Gary was able to reglue and dowel it back on straight. Had to drop neck about 3/16" closer to the body because of the way it was sawed off. She's not much of a looker, but that's what I like about her, hope she play's well
