Yep. Found this one in the upstairs attic of an old meat packing plant; Athens, GA 1985-6. She had been there aleast 40 plus years, Virtually unplayed, in the original case and may be the original flatwound strings. Belonged to a City comissioner who worked at the original meat packing plant. I really liked this model Patrician especially for fingerstyle. Also foun an elcabonged Framus with an Aluminum? neck. Not sure it was solid Al; It was like a three piece 1/3 inch strips: low E high E and down the middle Like any young Dumbarse in Athens, GA. I sold it to buy a Jap Strat with Fake Floyd Rose.

I found a player Patrician in an antique shop in a little town in British Columbia, Canada. It's marked "F-38" and "1426??1408". Very nice guitar.
