Lovely guitar.
I guess my Fasan is about the same age. Since getting it this year I have developed an obsession with European ATs!

Well now you have to go apply it for Medicare Part A for the guitar. If you want to see if they will send you a social security check too, seems we all kinds of data bases in the Government that have no eligible people doing and getting things they should not.

I had to look that up - I'm in the UK. I will be seeking some therapy. Hopefully free to the over 65s!

They are fun guitars no doubt. I really like mine. It has a nice tone. Have you discovered any builders you prefer?

You and my R.Hoyer are keeping good company. This is the 65th anniversary releases of the album’s of Miles Davis’ “Kind of Blue”, Ornette Coleman’s “Shape of Things to Come”, Sun Ra’s “Jazz in Silhoette”, Charles Mingus’ “ Mingus Ah Um”, and Dave Brubeck’s “Time Out”. That was a shining year for jazz and music in general.

LOL!!!! Our D'As should be eligible for all kinds of benefits! My D'A turns 90 next year. She should have been receiving Medicare and SS for almost 25 years. I'm gonna see if they can give her a lump payment for all those years she was eligible for SS.
I'd suggest that you and Stringswinger also apply.

What a wonderful country we live in!
We've finally got a piece of the pie!

TBH this is my first after a friend recently bought a Hofner Congress. The budget end, but I seem to be seeing a lot of this type of guitar, all of a sudden, going up appreciably in value. So I'm just ogling at the moment!
