is this really 50 years old? Doesn't look used in any way :shock: For 500 $ I would have taken two :shock: :shock: :shock:

congrats on this deal. I want it too. I'll give you the Squier for it.

Is the decal new?

Keep the cable away from the nitro. it will possibly melt into it.

PRO TIPS.

Anyways, if I were you that would be my #1. It's rare, special, unique, and obviously neglected (in the sense that very little music has been made on it). You need to make up for years of sitting in a closet by playing the fuck out of it as much as possible.

Uggh, I'd never wanna fucking touch it. I'd especially be leary of touching the gold...

There's just something so wrong in knowing I'd age it more in three months than it had in fifty years.

That's why I like playing junk/former junk guitars 8)

Yes, be wary of rubber in general touching it...guitar stands especially. They can chemically react with the lacquer finish on the guitar and either cause finish discoloration or actually melt it away in places.

Seriously, why do they even do that... If you're nice, you can get your mom to knit you socks to cover the rubber parts of the stand, like I did 8)
