GUEST,Tucker Gettin' a 'Cowboy Geetar'! Any thoughts? (60* d) RE: Gettin' a 'Cowboy Geetar'! Any thoughts? 27 Jan 01


Hey..me Tucker..the one askin' about the geetar.

Yup..know about cowboys and banjos...that's why I bought a 60's FW5 open backed Vega at a pawn shop in LA...played it..knew I had to have it..that simple. Already got me a number of original tunes on it.

But back to geetars. As Mr. Fielding said... I found me a sunburst (I agree "picker") 1965 J45 that I really like. Seller might be over pricing...I'm not sure. Was $2,800...got him down to $2,000 (canadian). I checked the internet and $1,600 U.S. would be the average price I saw. If this is the case and this guitar has no structural problems, then it seems like the price might be ok...what do y'all think? Only thing noticable to me was a crackly varnish and a B string that might not be holding tune...I wonder because the guitar was in perfect tune when I played it except for the B string which was off by half.

Advice anyone?

Tucker (again, Spaw, thanks for all the links ya been sending..'preciate it.)
