Location: Midland, MI | Yeah, I had one of those once. Screwed the bridge down with wood screws because it kept lifting. I hated the pickguard so I scraped it off with a flathead screwdriver. One of those bing honking Craftsman ones, you know which one I mean. And the sides and back were too dark, so I painted them with white krylon. It sounded great after I got done putting a zero fret and string tubes on it. |

| This ceased to be a guitar long ago.
It no longer has any relationship with music whatsoever. |

It also seems to be pretty high for the condition but there you have it. Things keep going for new records. |
