I'm not a musician and don't know jack about instruments, technically.  Bud told me this favorite guitar of his played excellently.  As you can tell, these are not camera phone pics, so examine them carefully and please feel free to email me for more pics-I could only upload 12 here.  I think you'll see they portray the instument accurately. If you get serious about the instrument, email me at: barqsnut@aol.com with your phone number and a convenient time to call and I'll get with you. If you are a long lost friend of Bud's, give me your contact info and I'll relay it to him. The case is also in very nice condition with only a few stains on the outside. I do not have keys. There are no extra parts and pieces, only what you see pictured. This item is sold as-is and as such there will be no warranty or returning the item. I will investigate and double check any inquiry you make untill the last 12 hrs of the auction. Evidence suggests that this guitar was repainted at some point before Bud bought it around 20 years ago. I took the instrument apart when this subject was raised and photographed it exactly as I found it, neither cleaning nor changing anything.  If you look closely, I think you'll agree it was repainted its original color. The nicks and chips shown are photographed at close range, so look larger and more obvious than they do to the naked eye. One pot was changed because it was going past off when turned off, which was a problem in the studio, The original pot is included. Payment: There will be a 1,000.00 non-refundable deposit paid thru Paypal (no echecks) immediately.  Quite simply, this means that if you intend to play games, you'll lose a grand to me. The balance we can discuss as long as you realize that all payment must fully clear before the instrument leaves my hands. This is not meant to be attitudinal, just straightforward; the ONLY way I operate. Please do not make an offer (which is binding if I accept it) or a bid and then begin questioning. Question first. There will be two days somewhere in the holiday period when I will not be around a computer.  If I do not get back with you within 12 hours with an answer to your question, that will be the reason. I do not have a buy it now price listed, but I will entertain non-ridiculous offers if you email me. Shipping: I will ship the most convenient way for you.  I'd like to overnight it for your satisfaction and peace of mind. I have no idea of charges, but they will only be the exact cost of the means you choose.  If the auction goes well, I'll even take a day off from work to expedite the process.THE SHIPPING CHARGES LISTED ARE ONLY BECAUSE EBAY REQUIRES A CHARGE-THEY DO NOT REFLECT ACTUAL CHARGES. I will ship outside the U.S. if you accept that I bear no responsibility for what happens to the item once it leaves my hands into the care of a legitimate carrier of your choosing. NON-U.S. BIDDERS MAKE CONTACT WITH ME BEFORE BIDDING OR I WILL CANCEL YOUR BID. Not to be difficult, but to keep the auction as trouble free as possible. If you look at my feedback, I have been around ebay for a long time, both buying and selling, so bid with confidence. Thank you so much for looking at my auction and PLEASE email any questions or concerns.On Nov-21-08 at 20:21:20 PST, seller added the following information:Number on the neck plate is 42975. Sorry, but ebay only allows 12 pics.  I'll be happy to email you more if you send your email address to me. Someone has raised the issue of terms of payment.  Almost any high end sale requires an immediate good faith non-refundable deposit to guard agaist those who love to play games and diddle themselves.  If you are a serious buyer, don't be afraid to contact me. I've been on ebay for years, using the same account, with about a 50-50 mix of buying and selling.On Nov-25-08 at 06:08:43 PST, seller added the following information:2 Pots (remember, there will be 3) are numbered: 137.6009  3596   250K Audio.
