Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | For us poor dyslexic folks who cannot spell "1537"... 
I was outbid on a Celebrity CC267... which is really a poor-man's 1537. I was sad.
Tonight, I just saw THIS
I know that we have discussed these Elites with two-tone epaulets.
So I am hoping that I will discover that these are just plain wonderful.
This has a crack that may-or-may-not have been repaired. We shall see.
I really need to thin-the-herd, but I just couldn't pass this one up.

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | Back to the "Rough Life".... The ol' Popsicle Stick cleat.
There is also glue splatter on the top, so I will need BFLG advice on removal.
I have not got a real good photo of that glue splatter yet.
Also... What is going-on Here?
See that weird piece of wood? What is it, and why is it there?
Also, this has a Bolt-On neck. Kinda rusty bolts tho'...

If you paint it a bright red, you'll never even notice the glue... |

For glue splatter depends on the glue.
Since the finish is Poly you can try to remove the splatter with denatured alcohol or mineral spirits. |

Rubbing Alcohol?
As far as the "type of glue", I would guess "Super Glue".
There is a dollop of glue below the bridge the I would think that someone would have wiped-off if it hadn't dried really quickly... plus it is kinda clear.

Location: Jet City | denatured, not rubbing. You can get it by the gallon or pint or whatever at the hardware store. I use it for a variety of things. great solvent and cleaner, good for glass too, and even works as marine fuel. |
