I bought one of these for $20 out of a storage unit from an 18 yr old girl, said it belonged to her grandmother. missing 3 strings and bridge pins, the neck had a back bow. I had some bridge pins and some gently used .electric .009 strings. I backed off the truss rod 3 cranks and strung it. The neck pulled right into place perfect. It plays and sounds great, I really like this guitar. I have been playing some 40 years and owned a few guitars but this one I think is the best. It plays so easy and sounds good even with these used electric lights on it. After 5 or 20 minutes its like where have you been all my life!? This one's a keeper. The neck is just a tiny bit wider making it a bit easier to make clear chords and finger pickin. Best playing and sounding acoustic I ever owned, and at just $20, How lucky is that?
