We would love to have/see some really high quality pics of this guitar. I know that!   Anthony T.

Speaking of which, here are better pics of the headstock: Click Me   Karl Teten (Karl_teten) Member Username: Karl_teten Post Number: 56 Registered: 04-2005 Posted From: 66.75.242.155 Posted on Thursday, May 19, 2005 - 08:21 am:    From the 'click me' pics you can see the graft where the original headstock snapped off and the replacement was glued to. The thick skunk center strip in the headstock stops right behind the nut.   John Williams (Jwilli) Senior Member Username: Jwilli Post Number: 931 Registered: 04-2002 Posted From: 24.168.222.248 Posted on Thursday, May 19, 2005 - 08:36 am:    Karl, it does look like that according to those pics BUT its not the case. The guitar is original.....all of it. Hopefully, better pics will be posted soon.   John Simmons (Leftybass) Senior Member Username: Leftybass Post Number: 988 Registered: 04-2002 Posted From: 69.161.23.82 Posted on Thursday, May 19, 2005 - 09:14 am:    JWilli is on the money. As weird as it looks, this 12-string is a bona-fide original.   David McLaughlin (Combo850) New member Username: Combo850 Post Number: 7 Registered: 06-2003 Posted From: 68.232.66.122 Posted on Thursday, May 19, 2005 - 10:04 am:    We should know for sure sometime this morning.   David McLaughlin (Combo850) New member Username: Combo850 Post Number: 8 Registered: 06-2003 Posted From: 68.232.66.122 Posted on Thursday, May 19, 2005 - 11:31 am:    I have now examined the guitar, and it is without a doubt...all-original, every last screw, all wiring, etc.. The guitar's most recent (and now former) owner was its second owner. Lefybass will be examining the guitar this afternoon, followed soon by Jwilli.   Patrick K.
