Cracking deal.

Reissue MG65's can cost that much in the UK.

That's beautiful.
If you think of god as a pair of pants, a spiritualist thinks he needs pants, in fact he wants pants but none of the conventional types of pants seem to fit just right, so he makes his own pants and is happy that his knees are no longer cold.-fibus

That's cheap, especially for one that's in such good condition! I usually see them go for >$2200 on fleabay. Great score!

I love how some comp blues get the purple burst effect as they age. It also looks like they used a darker shade of LPB back then than what we see on the reissues. Where did you find this beauty?

I think I have seen a purple burst before. Does it have to do with fading?

it's apparently overspraying of clear-coat at the edges.
