I bought this guitar in 1968, after falling in love with B.B. King. I then realized the direction that I needed to go in. I saved my lunch money and allowance in a tissuebox on top of my dresser. It cost me all of $210! The pickups died on me, and I put in Seymour Duncan 59ers with creme mounting rings. I still have the pickguard... It's in my closet. I also put on Grover tuning pegs. It's got a sweet tone. I used it alot on the Blue Angel record. I don't take it on the road with me anymore. There is a warm spotin my heart for this guitar. It was my first "real" guitar. (My veryfirst guitar was a $19. Teisco Del Rey electric. My second was a $33. Harmony acoustic ...which was stolen.) | |||
