I'd like to stand and salute that... 🦓

Sweet!  And great shape for a 50 year old instrument.

Bill, tgo

Sooooo pretty!

Very nice!

Wow. A very fine historic example.

Nice!!  Love the short-scale guitars.

Thanks. I actually prefer long scale guitars, but the lighter weight of the smaller SC body compared to the larger standard point body is worth the trade off.

That's a real nice guitar and looks pretty similar to one I was in discussion about many years back from a UK seller.
I can't actually think of any of my guitars where the scale length had any influence on my buying it.  Probably says a lot about my guitar playing but as long as the neck feels right and the sound and to some extent the aesthetic, i'm good. I can't actually state what the scale length is of any of mine without looking it up on line. Basses yes.

Thanks, Jazzyvee, this is a fantastic guitar in mint condition. Light weight and comfortable to play and sounds wonderful!

STOLEN GUITAR

Serial Number 75-207

In case people did not see Mica's post the other day, this guitar was stolen in transit via UPS from the east coast USA to the west coast.  Please keep on the lookout for this guitar and let me know (and Mica) if you see it anywhere.  Thanks.

Just for everyone's amusement, here's what arrived in the guitar's place:

😡

This could be any one of us. I'm trying to help behind the scenes. 

Thanks, Greg.

I'm pretty sure that the box with the shoes in it was what left the UPS Store where it was packed and shipped. Hopefully a police report and a little investigation will turn it up.
