I took a gamble and rolled the dice.

Well, I debated, made an offer, they counter offered, I counter offered their counter offer, and ended up buying it for $859.95 + shipping. I don't need it and really have no use for it, but I love a good challenge. I'm about 90% sure I can fix the bowed neck. If I can't get the trussrod out and/or straighten the neck, I'll part it out on eBay.

Cool score! Looks like a good challenge, and maybe a nice return if you can fix the truss rod. If not, someone around here was looking for duckfeet.

I know that
. I was being sarcastic with you, reminiscing the old days (about 4-6 weeks ago)
when we were PMing about the specs on the P'up Rings, spacing on the strings for the bridge, etc.

OK! I just thought maybe since you were getting close to the 50 year mark you were having a 'senior' moment.
