Title: Kalamazoo matched set

Let's see: (1) Date is at least 10 years too early (2) Zero feedback seller (3) He'll take care of his other business before he gets to your order but he has a big red threatening note about non-paying bidders. (4) No details about the actual condition but they "were appraised at $350.00 each." I guess that's supposed to make his $500 starting bid look like a bargain. (5) You'll find out the shipping cost until after you win. Lucky you.

Does that about cover it?

1956, yeah right!

The Fender Mustang from which the guitar was copied appeared in 1960 and the SG appeared around 1961
