This one might be my old B9148.
It has all of the same wear that mine had.
If so, I can say that the PG is(was when I owned it) not original.
It was thinner to accommodate an extreme neck fold. Not too bad,
but the bridge had to be sunk a little deeper into the body.
The tug bar was also a later one that came with a 4005 guard
that I bought from Rick in 1987.
Anyway- I could never string it with any more than 40-95.
Great sound though!
I bought it from Bob Guida in '87 and sold it to John Slog in '95.
That is of course if this be B9148.
Which also makes it a '60.

He's also got a Fender King acoustic with steel rod inside for only $5K.

But it's got checkerboard binding!
