If that's legit, I wonder if Bill P will show interest?

You guys know me too well. I just saw this thread and grabbed the phone. The seller said that there was something wrong with part of the electronics, so one of the pre-amps has been bypassed, but he's not sure exactly how. He says the pickups and electronics are original. He's owned the guitar since '78. He doesn't know if he has a power supply. I'm meeting him tonight. I'll be bringing a blue box, a 5-pin chord, a small portable amp, and likely some cash. I'll keep you all posted. This is exciting!

Bill, tgo

Very exciting! Good luck Bill!

The pictures are larger than they appear on the linked page. If you right click on the picture and save to your desktop, you can open it at its original size.

Very interesting logo. I remember one like it being posted by Mica before, but I can't remember how it's done. It kinda looks like a decal, but also kinda looks inlaid.

A really nice match for Keavin's #12.

I can - but my wife & the mortgage compny would probably disagree. Grab it, Bill! He's still throwing around the spurious Garcia connection, but at least he's gotten sane on the price since his last attempt.

ps - and you ever want to sell it at a time when I'm actually employed......

No wonder why you're excited Bill, this looks like a once in a lifetime opportunity. I hope you get it !

I can report that Old #10 is no longer available on craigslist. YIPPEEEE!!!!! This is a VERY cool guitar. It certainly needs some TLC, both cosmetically (a good cleaning and brass polishing), and internally. It will have to go back to Ron for an operation. Currently it's wired so that both pickups go through one volume only. The second volume and both filters are disconnected, as well as the 5-pin jack. Even so, it's a real beauty with major mojo. I'll post some pics shortly.

Bill, tgo
