Location: Scotland | I'd ask for a side-shot close up of the bridge to make sure the neck angle is OK, otherwise go for it, looks to be in good shape. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | Looks nice. As Temp said, only caution would be to make sure the neck set angle is OK. I would not worry about the lacquer crack. These are very nice guitars. Dave |

Location: 6 String Ranch | I wouldn't worry about the neck angle. These could always be reheated and reset if needed. A tricky procedure but still can be done much easier than a Martin reset. |

Even if it's not in very good condition, it will be my first shiny bowl!!
We've got some good luthier in Paris and I will ask for fixing all the cosmetic flaws.
I just hope that the neck angle is ok... :rolleyes:

Location: Paris/France | I forgot to mention that I'm born in December 1967 and according the serial, it could be my "twin sister"!!!
I like this idea that we could be born the same day...
Do you think that the factory could tell me the exact date of production???

I'm guessing that this is a Great deal in France. And that is a Very shiny bowl.
I'm jealous! |
