"This is a cool vintage guitar made in he USA in the late 50's or early 60's. This one is missing the logo but I have seen these with both the Premier and Stewart brand names. I think this one is a Stewart."

Oh my god. that looks amazing.

Edit: I would have probably bought that for 475 if I could.

You know now that I think of it, I played one of these before. There used to be a little shop around here that slowly decayed into what it was before the owner died and they closed...they basically had the same 20 guitars for sale for like 5 years and only really made just enough money to stay open from the lessons their only full time employee gave. I remember it actually being way way way more solid of a guitar than it looked like. The neck played awesome, and the pickups actually sounded pretty good.
