drathbun Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Apart from the obvious damage and, what looks like a headstock break and repair, does this B45 look like a fake to anyone? Were there labels like this in '91 in Boseman? And why isn't the label placed in the center of the soundhole over the center back brace?

zombywoof Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 There is a '91 B45-12 on the Elderly site that has the label in the same place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayyj Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Well, I enjoyed his sales patter at least... but those are ugly looking repairs and it sounds like it needs a lot more more work doing, so I'm not sure it's going to end up being an especially good buy even at $300 unless you're a luthier who can work on it yourself and would enjoy the project. It's not Rosewood either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest J-Doug Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 That's a real shame. :( I've been interested in the Bozeman B45-12s since I saw them in GFFG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j45nick Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 That's ugly. "Train wreck" is an apt description, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drathbun Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 It does look like a lot of work. Seems almost more than the guitar is worth. The top crack and back crack look fixable and even the bottom looks like it could be fitted back together (depends on the tailblock's condition). However, that neck break looks nasty.

jdd707 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 The label on my '92 is off-center ... no big deal. Good price .... much work needed. I'd wait for a good one and save the hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
