Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR		Yup... She has a crack clean through the top, so I had better glue a Popsicle-stick inside her.
But very little Fret wear... she does have some fingernail dents. But it is still an nice toy.




I just Love those 1-7/8 inch necks.

Me too!

Nice find OMA.

I love my Folklore. It's a 1981 too.

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR		It sounds nice. It sounds like a Folklore.
I will be changing strings. It currently has some Fender strings on it.
(the ball colors are wrong... If you are gonna copy D'Addario use the correct colors)
Sometimes I like 80/20's on a Folklore.
I also want to stabilize that crack, and see if there are shims under the Saddle.

It is a nice little Toy. I like the acoustic simulations, dobro and banjo.
I have owned 2 Red ones... Now I have a Black one.

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR		This has/had a bad crack in headstock...
I made the seller aware of it and he fixed it.
There was a crack on the Low-side of the tuners...




He says that he fixed it with Loc-Tite...


Hopefully I will never have to think about this again.
