Members GrooveSkipInc Posted June 25, 2010 Members Share Posted June 25, 2010 It was suggested on the effects forum to post this here. This guitar was just left to my uncle, and he is giving it to me because he wants the guitar to be played. The owner of the guitar had it for many years, I'll be doing more investigative work on its life and how long the previous owner had it. These pictures were taken by my parents who are shipping the guitar to me shortly. I'll have better pictures as soon as I receive the guitar. Any ideas on age and origin of this? Thanks!

Members headless Posted June 25, 2010 Members Share Posted June 25, 2010 Is it just the angle of the camera, or does the low-E string really ride that close to the bass side of the fretboard (and the High-E that far from the treble side)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GrooveSkipInc Posted June 26, 2010 Author Members Share Posted June 26, 2010 How good are your parents at packing and shipping??!?!? A custom acoustic builder in their town is going to be packing & shipping for them. He ships his $10,000 acoustics all the time, so I hope he does a good job. It will also be accompanied by a $7000 insurance policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
