Not funny at all, Dave - you paid serious money for it!

Beautiful, BTW......

I have never seen one of those up close an personal. How are they to play Dave? Do you have to play standing up or can you sit on a stool with it resting on your lap?

Congrats BTW.

Sorry Dave....I was so engrossed in my detective work, that I failed to mention my admiration for your new gtr. A great score....congrats.

VERY nice, Dave! A beauty & a great score.
How heavy?

I didn’t weigh it yet, but MUCH lighter then the 4080’s.

It has three strap holders, so it’s versatile to play in any position (even without a strap).

For those who followed the auction that I won it from, condition was a major concern. I cannot find a thing wrong with it. Not a scratch, nick, NOTHING.

Besides the binding being a tad yellow, it looks and plays factory new. Sounds great as well.

Wow! Great catch. Sso I guess you won't be allowed to buy any 75th Anniversary instrument, if there is one announced?
