Beautiful 1985 Custom Legend.
Near mint condition, other than some slight pick swirls not a mark on it.
Case is as new.
I'm very pleased with this one!! :)

Location: Brisbane Australia | Oz, it's the best condition brown case I have ever seen.
I adjusted the neck a tad tonight.
It could also do with an action adjustment.
I'll let the neck settle and pull a shim and restring at the weekend.
It's a beautiful instrument

There was another Wong involved in this.
I had the guitar shipped to Michael(Playadamas) and he kindly sent it out to me.
Thanks Michael!!

| Nice one, Jim. That's just like mine. How's the neck profile? Some of those early Kaman bar necks have a pronounced "V" as does mine. Took a little getting used to, but it forces my left hand into the correct position for clean fingerstyle. BTW, I had JB put a carved TRC on mine when I sent it up for a spa session. If you like that look, he can probably send you one. |

Location: So. Cal. | James,
I did add the extra padding to the neck and loosen the strings a bit. I checked the action and overall body and found no problem. But I don't think this guitar has been played much. It should open up a lot more if you give it some consistent work-out. Removing a shim is probably not necessary, it will sound (ring!) much better the way it is. I'm glad you are happy! |

Beautiful guitar. Stunning. Damn, I'm starting to gas up again. Some of Templeman's new REAL MOP tuner buttons are must have on that guitar. |
