| | | | someone gave it to him a long time ago. saw it sitting in his house randomly. i told him i'd buy it from him. and i offered him 50... he then told me the pawn shop would give him 65 so i told him i'd give him 75 us dollars tomorrow.... he even let me bring it home to make sure it worked... it works and sounds quite good.

nice score. id look into getting the hipshot replacement for the 3 point bridge. it would look a lot better than the one thats on there.

Hahahhaa, just kidding. Good score, thankfully not everyone checks the internet for prices and stuff, so there are gems to be found in the rough some times. Play the heck out of it like it deserves.
