First time I've seen one publicly for sale! Wee bit out of my price range. http://www.ebay.com/itm/330679912508?_trksid=p5197.c0.m619#ht_64487wt_1026 |

I stumbled across that one yesterday, and I stumbled away after reading the ticket price! Still a beautiful guitar. |

According to the other forum, it was refinished as recently as the mid-'90s! ¿Por qué?!!! |

I haven't seen a lot of these, but it looks to me like the upper horn has been repaired at one point? There seems to be a seam and a bit of a color change there. I always thought that the the bodies were one piece? |

I wouldn't let that upper horn seam bother you. There's seams all over that guitar. LOL |

I would totally paint it black and put a Bigsby on it. Hahaha! Just kidding. |

It would appear from that horn that the "long body" was a little bit longer than the standard body blank of the time! |
