Will the owner of a 1967 4005 please step forward...
I think that statement would start a stampede!

Well, it has a tight-fitting gigbag and not the original case. Apparently it has been in this bag for quite some time. The finish is in very good shape but the action is high and there is a considerable G side twist to the neck. Perhaps the trusses can take it out. It was hard to tell without my neck tool in hand. There are no neck rattles so the trusses are probably intact. This thing has been stored for a long time in less-than optimal condtions. There is some slight cracking around the bottom edge like the back has pulled away from the binding in a few spots. Shrinkage from being too dry? Perhaps. Email me if you want to know anything else.

All interested bidders Ted, should feel lucky you had the opportunity to check it out. I always said, if it looks to good to be true, it probably is.
I don't have the expertise to overcome the neck problems, and neither do most local lutiers.

Ted, thanks for taking the time. Your report has influenced me in how I was going to bid on this.

Indeed. Absolutely invaluable info. Thanks so much, Ted.

something is fishy about the high bidder look at his previous auctions all in coins no music anything maybe a shill bidder,I wonder if this is a consignment item.
