Vox,It's what's happening?

Post by westtexasred »

It's a Mark XII circa 1965 It's a little worn but not too bad.It is all original and it has all the parts(bridge cover is in the case) except for the tremolo spring.I got it cheap because it has a repaired crack in the headstock(through the bass side tuners). What do you think?Should I paint it white like Brian Jones's?

that would look cool, but i think you should leave it like it is.

1. Congrats of the score, hope the crack doesn't give you any trouble.

2. Best not to paint, for posterity's sake.

3. Pay respect to Will Sergent and play a few rounds of Killing Moon(don't forget the trem!) before you think about anything else.

4. Enjoy immensely for the rest of us.

Way OT: I seriously love TMLD, but Paul Marsh has but one perpetually frozen-stoned look, all the time. Zero emotions ever.

If anyone is interested in a Teardrop 12-string there is a nice 1969 Apollo copy at Rockin Robins for $488
