onewilyfool Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Fret markers look OK? Is this case too small for this guitar??? Look at the bridge indentation in the underside of the top?? Again with the worn paint on the pickguard.....you never know... http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/msg/2729884609.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrorod Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 It is too hard to make out from the pictures, much detail...!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchabalk Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 i agree, those pictures are crap. If i had to make a call just based on what i can see though it looks like it's probably a good one. If you're looking and it's sort of local it's definitely worth checking out. I think the price is a bit on the high side though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinder Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Looks like a good 'un to me, seems identical to my former '03 '200, the bridge marks in the top of the case are pretty normal. The fretboard looks bone dry, though, I'd get some lemon oil on that sucker ASAP and maybe bung a humidifier in the case for a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroAussie Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Looks pretty darn good to me, not bad price also. Should be well played in by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrorod Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 The only thing that I see wrong with it is......it AIN'T MINE ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KL Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 The fretboard looks bone dry, though, I'd get some lemon oil on that sucker ASAP and maybe bung a humidifier in the case for a few days. I also can't tell much from those pictures. As far as the fret board being dry you could well be right. I have got two Les Pauls from the same year and one of them always has a dry looking fingerboard, but I've kept them both carefully stored and the last time the luthier looked at it he said it wasn't dry. I've come to the conclusion that it has a much lighter natural color than the other, and this could possibly be the case here. Either way some lemon oil and humidification won't do any harm.

Old Brazilian varies a lot in color. I have two guitars on which it is almost as black as ebony. A couple of others on which is light reddish brown. In any case, an oil wipe-down and buff-out at every other string change (I use Planet Waves Hydration) will be more than enough to keep it in good shape.
