Joined: May 2010 Posts: 13 Location: Valley Ford, Ca. | This is the first guitar I ever bought. I lived near the New Hartford factory and purchased this at the Clavier Music store in Simsbury, probably in 1970, possibly '69. It hasn't been played much in the last 25 years, and I've switched to playing mostly bass, so I want it to have a good home where it will be played often. There' are a few cracks behind the bridge that may just be finish checks. One is probably a top crack, but there's no buzzing or structural problems. Some small top dings, and the bowl could use a buffing. $1250 takes it and the original, somewhat funky softshell case. Serial# B-434 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

I lost it when I got beat up and dumped out of a car while hitchhiking through Utah in the early '70s. The thing I remember most about that guitar, aside from sounding heavenly, was the flush mounted rosette. | ||
