Kingman with custom buttons, Willie, Ringo, Petty. The "King" accessorizes so well!

I’ve wanted an ABG for a long time, but just never pulled the trigger…picked this up yesterday…CB-100 with nice gig bag, $200. It’s in almost new condition, looks like it’s barely been played. I’m surprised how good it sounds and how well it’s made for what it is. The guy I bought it from got it from somebody else in a trade and didn’t really use it or need it. He put some new strings on it but I think they are maybe a little heavier gauge than what it was setup for…I think the action is a little higher than it should be and so the intonation is just a shade off. I’m not sure if I’m going to keep the strings or adjust the truss rod. Anyway, here it is:

Some sort of thumb rest on the bass side of the sound hole?

CB-100CE ?

Mine's the T-Bucket 300CE.

I went down to the store intent on buying a Kingman, but as fate would have it they were all out and the store had no estimate for restocking (plus the price would go up, which I couldn't afford at the time).

Pics later!

Congratulations on your purchase...as B-Mac said I love mine and the lutehole cover cuts down on feedback when the bass is plugged to my amp.
