FinnDave Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I really wish I hadn't looked at this, it's only about 5 miles away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CH161 Posted November 28, 2014 Author Share Posted November 28, 2014 Why not pop over and check out the origonolity! Can't imagine it selling at that start price - but you never know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacey Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 It does have an odd "relic job" look about it, lacquer in particular. The pots can be salvaged from Old TV's and radios of all things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibob Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 The front looks strange, but the back is the kind of deep, dark burst I'd expect on early 60's stuff. I wouldn't expect the Black to fade like that on the front, usually its the red first to go. Not sure on this. Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick's Fine '52 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 (edited) I messaged the seller when he first listed it months ago, for £3600. I was concerned at the neck pocket, it should be a lot darker, full of black paint, and look at the lack of black on the front if the upper horn, its a bit lacking? He replied saying he didnt know if it had been repainted? No mention of that in the relisting though? Hmmmm....

molan Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I bet it sounds "fantstic" though. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something doesn't look right about that paint to me though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
