Just passing this along - I'm not offering to drive to almost-Canada to check it out! stepchildusmc Posted 2011-12-18 6:56 PM (#274881 - in reply to #274880) Subject: Re: PSA: Early Balladeer (1967) on Craigslist Joined: September 2011 Posts: 108 Location: eastern united states i'll check it out. its only across the lake for me. just a quick ferry ride. going xmas shopping there in a few days anyway. if anyone needs "eyes on", let me know.

If this is a 1967, it's had some work done to it. The bridge, rosette, two piece top, and textured back are questionable. I also asked if the serial number had any leading zeros, i.e. 004948, and he said it did not. Edit: The textured back is not obvious in the picture, but the seller told me on the phone that it was.
