Nice! Is that the one that was on Ebay?

Nope. Not an ebay find. This one turned up on top of a hill in a small town on the western edge of WV.

Thanks for the info. Since that pic, the hardware has gotten a good cleaning, the bridge has had a rehab kit, and I've corrected the pickup screw issue.

...and I was sold the second I saw that walnut top!
