Quite clean! Normal checking throughout with very few nicks and a few marks. A small finish area has been worn on the back of the neck. Enamel-faced B3 Bigsby is not original. Original frets are well worn but very playable as is. Good action. Other than the replaced tuners & Bigsby, all else is original. Nice deep, rich Burgundy color. This is a great guitar and lots of fun to play! Same manufactured year as George Harrison’s! I have many more photos if you are interested in buying. No trade offers. $2000.

Am running an inventory in my head as I write to see what can can sell to get this, one of my Grail Guitars.

I can work with you, Jerry. Don't need it all at once. Not enough nut width for me. Other than that, it sounds great. Love those Hi-Lo Trons! Through my Vox I get that George Harrison stuff from "Beatles For Sale."

PM (to be) sent!

SOLD

Congrats guys. That is a beautiful guitar.

Thanks, Brian. Had a great time with that puppy playing George's parts on "Beatles For Sale." One of a few things I'm moving to see if I have any chance in hell for this: http://entertainment.ha.com/common/view ... IdNo=13347

Wow! Good luck Mike. I hope you pull it off and bag that one.

You know, Mike, the kids can pay for their own college education!
