I went over there one day and played it...It needs a fret job...it has a crack across the back..it really looks good...but I believe it was rep[aired, stripped and refinned a LONG LONG time ago...I think the owner is trying to play dumb...He's a repair guy..If he can't tell it's been repaired, he's a Nucklehead..otherwise...he is trying to find some dummy...It's worth about $2,00. I told him that broken ones are going for around $3,00...he said he would go down to the $4,00 range...it's NOT worth it..Fret job needed??? Fuggetaboutit!!!
