At 51 years old , I've had "lots' of guitars come and go . And just after I kick "myself" in the pants each day , I'm still out there with my eyes peeled . When I was !7 , I bought a 75' Strat for 150 "muchos" . A couple years later , when "transistor" amps were the rage , I found a 1960's , small letter , gold piping , 100 watts for ,..Yep ,.. Marshall head,same price ,.. A one hundred and fifty bucks !!! WEE HAA !!! I still got "em . But now with high tech communicatio , It almost kinda reminds me of the housing bubble . Inflated prices . Good and bad . My "best" luck has been "face to face" , word of mouth , and as one person on the thread mentioned "local shops" . Just my opinion . I paid 50 dollars for this Instrument . She (He) , plays , "smooth as butter" , and stays in tune . Charango . The tuners been replaced long ago . Original "tapered peg holes" are evident" . I don't know whether to sell it or take it to the pound !!!

Thank you for sharing. I came across 2112jefferson too while treasure hunting. I was amazed at his inventory. If he is a picker that does not know a lot about guitars is hard to believe. I wonder if this is a large sell off of a private collection? I guess we will see, if more guitars keep getting posted. Regardless, definitely some nice stuff. Enjoy.

Thank you for sharing Iggy. I often see men playing the Kora on the subway platforms in NYC. A wonderful harp instrument that is tuned by moving leather bands (strings runs underneath them) wrapped around the poles, up and down to get the correct pitch. Very primative tuners. I am amazed that it works and stays in tune. Enjoy
