I dunno about the crack on the neck though; hopefully that wouldn't do anything, or it would be easy to fix . . .

Also, why in the word does hyperlinking not work on when I try to use it?

What kind of shape is the neck really in? No hardware at all so can't check the year. Possibility of a fake as well. If it had minimal hardware I'd go for it. I am looking for a project Ric, but it looks like too much of a project for me.

It does have the dual trusses, and as I recall, "Rosa" is a name that's cropped up in other 4001's. But the lack of hardware is a problem. For $200 it might be worth it...

What's with the truss rods, are they just not inset fully or ?

That's weird. I highlighted the entire URL and pasted it directly. When it didn't turn into a link I tested it out by pasting it back into the Address Bar and, sure enough, it went back to the auction . . . hmmmmm.

That neck crack might be a little scary! Getting a proper TRC might prove a problem as well.

Getting a TRC isn't a problem. You can pick one up off the 'bay for around a C note. But once you add up all the parts you'd need to get and the time you'd have to put in I wouldn't be interested. For some here it could make a fun project though.
