Comment by Dave Lynas on December 3, 2016 at 1:48am: It does have that Stella tiger stripe sunburst Pick. It looks a lot like my first guitar. A Stella with terrible action, heavy gauge strings and poor intonation. Why I stuck with guitar after that beast I'll never know. My next guitar was a baby blue Fender single pickup sweetie. It played easy with it's blond maple neck and solid body goodness. Wish I still had that guitar...

Comment by Dave Lynas on December 3, 2016 at 1:41am: Might not APG. I fell down on the stairs two days ago and have a big black blue yellow red corona on my chest where I hit the balustrade at the bottom of the steps. Just missed where I broke ribs last winter. I wouldn't make a good doctor. And Pick, it's not a Stella. It's a Winston. Made in Japan. It has Mahogany braces inside. Amazing..

Comment by AGP # on December 2, 2016 at 11:29am: Looks like something nice is going to be the result of this operation "Doctor Dave" :-)

Comment by the anonymous pick on December 2, 2016 at 11:27am: is that a stella ?
