Unbelievably great sound! The down side to this guitar is that cosmetically it is a 4-5. The finish is original but it had 'decorations' glued to it at some point in the past and so the finish is flawed in places because of it. There are also some age-related cracks in the finish though not more than seem to be typical of CGs of this age. Seems to be all original other than the hard shell case which is homemade but functional.

(Oh, and did I mention that it sounds amazing?)

This is Denny's son. I had to come see what all the commotion was about. Mom dragged Dad away from the computer at gun-point yelling "NO ... NO MORE" over and over again while Dad was pleading over and over "PAH-LEEEEZE ... JUST ONE MORE ... you'll love it". Mom has now nailed Dad to the basement door through his coveralls and Dad is yelling "HELLLLLP ... POLICE", muffled through the duct tape over his mouth. OOPS here comes Mom back up the stairs; Gotta run..............

Sounds like a very interesting deal. Too bad my wallet is empty.
