What could be more fun that reading a long detailed guitar ad on the internet? Only one thing could be more fun... typing it. But playing the guitar is also delightful. This one is from 1966 judging from the serial number or perhaps very early 1967. I did not remove the neck. The serial number starts with 177. The guitar is all original except for a good re fret. The binding is all here and attached but has lots of cracks. This one is very light weight at 6 pounds 12 1/2  ounces on my digital scale. Just for fun I decided to plug the guitar in. It is a good sounding one in each position.
