Last weekend I visited an old friend of mine who now lives on Mallorca (spanish island in the mediterrainean sea). I knew he had a 450/12, always asked him to sell it to me, but he wanted to keep it - very wise ! But this time I brought a new set of RIC strings with me. He got it out of the case - and it was not in very good condition, he didn't play it for at least 15 years, the hardware was quite tarnished
