Seems fine to me - expect the price to reach around £3K.

Refinished by a french polisher - so is he half French and half Polish?



Is that my taxi?

Simple. Get oldgit to go around and have a look.

Metallic green?! Looks like its Sherwood Green over Fiesta Red as well, so he's pretty much had a custom finish stripped off? That's so wrong.

Planning to

It looks spot on to me, so much so that I rushed to the records to see if the s/n was that of my old one which had that headstock fag burn
It's not .. Mine was 1000 or so later than this one... and I still had it in '71 ...

I will have to be very strong to avoid buying this... [i]very[/i] strong

My wife just summed it up: "you need something to play in pubs not stick in a vault"
Damn. She's right again.

I'll be happy to go and check it out for any BC bidder though
