    Agreed, I have two. This one is all original, the other has a replacement bridge and replacement tuners. The first electric guitar I ever owned was one of these - 1977.

    Hi Guys...

    Its been a while,

    Hope I find you well and in a good place...

    If you have some time I would really appreciate your thoughts on my new track 'Find your way home' written for 'Forever Searching' a group of incredible individuals who concentrate a lot of their time to keeping the profiles of missing children high and prevlant in the media... cases such as the McCanns.

    Please support their cause by listening to the track and adding them at www.myspace.com/myspaceforeversearching or registering with them at www.foreversearching.com



    Thankyou so much!

    Take care, God bless
