You got me! And here I was thinking it would be a George Barnes Acousti-Lectric or the even more rare Merle Travis Guild model.

That's what I call a fire sale. It's been in a fire and it's for sale.

Well, it is - or I should say was - a starfire.

"This is a gorgeous guild according to the headstock"

See, this is why I never listen to headstocks, they are notorious liars.

"What you see is what you get, a beautiful guitar, I would like to finish it but I don't know if I'll ever get the time."

I must say, this seller has a real talent for funny one liners.

But at least his shipping fee is sensible, God forbid such a rare and irreplaceable instrument should get damaged in shipping.

I'm gonna dip my hands in used motor oil and handle a guitar.

Looks like the guitar was in a dumpster fire

Aw, c’mon guys - you’re over-reacting to a little patina. Its condition is described as “used”. The definition of “used” is quite clearly stated in the post:

”An item that has been used previously. The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear, but is fully operational and functions as intended. ”

There’s no way I’d share that with you
Well.. only from the safety of my own collection.

It helps with gliding over that fret work.

I think the dumpster fire was in the guitar.

That's what I call a fire sale.

...maybe in the sense that the guy doesn't have a fireplace for it, so he might aswell sell it...

[arnie65]

Look like something out of "American Pickers"....





Arnie..

[wintermoon]

Partial refret indeed.
When I typed that spell check wrote partial regret.
When the next owner sees that fretwire hanging off the sides of the board it'll be fully regret on the purchase.

Definitely something they're putting in the water over on your side.

Just a moment...

You have to admit though, this is a very creative (destructive?) definition of "vintage patina"....

"It exhibits natural wear and aging, including chips, dents, scratches, and lacquer cracks, giving it a beautiful vintage patina."

Or perhaps he meant to say that it resembles an old padina?

Padina: A genus of fan-shaped somewhat leathery brown algae (family Dictyotaceae) that are found in warm seas.

Definitely the latter.

"Stunning"! and not in a good way . . .

[lammie200]

Pretty sure that was Barney Rubble's guitar.

[bebopblues]

Pretty sure that was Barney Rubble's guitar.

Or maybe El Kabong's

After Bam Bam got a hold of it.

I just had to look up the Padina algae, I can see the resemblance, but this vintage padina is more attractive.

[frabarmus]

Wow, that alga looks like a nice quilted finish!
