Members loosegroove Posted July 13, 2012 Members Share Posted July 13, 2012 So today I was hanging out with a good friend of mine that I've known since I was 2. He was my next-door neighbor, and I was kind of the Dennis the Menace to his Mr Wilson. We grabbed a bite to eat and then swung by his house so he could show me some work he had been doing on it. We were checking out the walk up attic that he was thinking of finishing off and he said I should check out some stuff he had in storage. He pointed to a chipboard case, and I was thinking it was going to be some old beater guitar. He opened it up and pulled out this: Man, was I surprised. I tuned it up, strummed a few chords, and while doing so he told me he wanted me to have it since he doesn't even play. Beautiful guitar that plays and sounds great, and I'm definitely going to treasure. I don't know anything about it. It has an interesting bridge that has two screws on the side, haven't seen another like it. Anyone have any info on this? I'm definitely not well versed in the acoustic guitar realm. Early wedding present for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using that site, it looks like it's a 67-68. Even older than I thought! I can't believe the shape it's in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even without the guitar, I owe this guy more than a 12 pack. He doesn't drink anymore, so I'll have to think of something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
