First the good: plays great, electronics work well. The bad? It's GREEN. I hate green. It has some cosmetic issues - headstock missing an ear, finish crack, finish rubbed off on front near binding. I haven't even cleaned it up yet. It's so GREEN. I can get another 6868 that isn;t perfect either but is sunburst. It's a $100 more than I paid for this one which was less than $300. Should I sell and try to get a color I can live with? pics are in the gallery under puddnheadwilson Thought about refinishing it myself...

Option B: Put it on eBay round about St. Patrick's Day. Though in some Green Beer. someone will buy it.

I've definately seen worse. For the price if you like the way it plays keep it and use it as a "beater". Maybe it will fall over and break the other side of the headstock off :)One of my favorite guitars is a really old Jasmine that I picked up for $25. It sounds great with super good action. It ain't much to look at but that's part of it's charm. Kinda like a blind date..."and she has a great personality." Bob
