No, this guitar is in no way equal to the vintage guitars, but for what it is in the context of the times it's not bad. It's just that the price the man named is half of what it's selling for. It will probably end up as a re-sell, just a way to park money until I advertise it properly and make a couple of hundred dollars.

Or, I'll keep it and have an electric to work with.

This one has humbucking (double coil) pickups. The twangy Fender sound of country-western, lots of great rock, uses single-wound, but they can hum a lot. So this would be a quiet studio guitar. Should be, at least.
