For months I went to a music store ,played with all kinds of guitars. Oh yeah, there's some nice ones out there. ALL of them were out of my price range. Still though ,when I came home nothing beat the way I felt with my guitar in my hands. It's got some wear thet's for sure ,scratches and dings. For some reason that makes it more comfortable to hold than when I held a brand new one. What started as just putting in a new selector switch turned into open heart surgury. New pick guard ,switch and pick ups. $150.00 all together. I bought the guitar a year ago for the same . For me now, it's pricless. I know this guitar inside and out. I have a whole new attitude towards it now .And my playing and ability and desire. No new guitar could have done that for me. Almost like meeting the girl of my dreams. Just have to show her off!

Looks like a vintage original - cos of the yellowish pus and knobs - where someone put a new pickguard in somewhere around -79. It came out cool!
