If I was righthanded, or a collector, I'd be in on this one.

Decent, but I don't think I'd go over the grand mark. I'm sure some CS fans here would.

Looks like someone scribbled something with a Sharpie on the lower horn. Maybe that's why it's so low in price. Looks similar to mine. I wonder if it's possible to remove the scribble. If it didn't have the Sharpie stains I might have bid on it.

I once got an autograph (one of the Badfinger members) on my Hofner bass, I later regretted. I pored over the internet and found others who had the same dilemma and fixed it. I got one of the products, which was OOP'S Multi-Purpose remover. It took the permanent ink black marker off 100 % with no damage to the surface.

It looks like someone taped a protective cover over the signature.

Thanks!

The text of the listing does mention that there is plastic over the sig:
"Please note there's a transparent piece of plastic covering the autograph."

We don't need no stinkin' text.
Actually, I have a confession.
I can't read.

Cats can't read either:
