The crinkly-crackly '64 T'Bird link

SORTED! (I can't remember how to shorten the link... Mods please do for me then I can check how you did it... ta)

One unusual (?) thing I noticed is the direction of the grain on the upper fin... not in line or even near it...

Got to admit a certain degree of GAS with absolutely no Gaviscon handy...

Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

I don't think it's worth $5K more than my '64.


That may be a R.I. pickguard, finger rest is in the wrong place.  TRC screws are incorrect.

Ken, you can shorten any link by just putting the item number after the ".com/" as in http://cgi.ebay.com/150617694619

The upper bout grain direction is unusual. Not sure if it would affect value.

If that's an ebony fretboard, it's un-stained. Just me, but I'll never be able to justify spending what vintage instruments go for anymore.

Cool!  That's a new one for me.

I can't justify the cost of vintage instruments either, especially when the new ones sound so great.

Cheers Dave... the method I was trying to remember is where you put a different name as the "link" but not showing the link...

Like this? Do it {url=http://cgi.ebay.com/150617694619}like this{/url} -- using the proper bracket signs [] instead of {}. Hope that makes sense.
