Over the years I've an occasional acoustic itch & had a number of acoustics which I've tried to like .. but didnt. I had one of these for a while.. the colour was the best thing about it.

[quote name='BobVbass' timestamp='1488887233' post='3252616'] I bought one just after Xmas when I was thinking of making a bass - it's ok actually nice rosewood and profile - nut looks a bit cheap and the heel profile isn't quite a perfect match for a Fender socket but nothing a bit of sanding wouldn't sort. Never actually tried it on a body as I gave up trying to make a guitar but looks alright to me. I expect it will be appearing in the assorted musical bits for sale shortly [/quote] Colour me interested

can you get blocked / bound necks too ?

if you need it really big, could you use a headstock string retainer. ? same screw should fit through

Zoom b2 gets it too

get them to mark it as a "gift", value £15

Would you also need to shorten the lower frets? I'd just see what happens with £30

I'm also interested to know if they are any good

People rescue barn-find cars. As long as its truly unplayable, I don't see the issue personally if you're actually rescuing it from being firewood essentially

Glad you're happy with it

Volume (unamplified) will not compete with even one acoustic guitar

I bought some celluloid tort like that recently

It was playing live, and hearing how much I added to the sound of acoustic guitars. And watching the crowd applaud of course

Oh dear - now I need a screen wipe Lovely relic job there

Relic finish - like the wire brush
