You know, a cowboy guitar (regardless of make/model) should really have a sunburst finish.

Justa; Naw, a real cowboy guitar should be chucked in a corral with a horse first. Like Glen Ford did with his new hat in some move or other. Always remember that scene. Never trust a new hat.

Rick; Yes, there was a thread for a while on Rough But Honest Miner, with good words from Joe Offer and Mike Regenstreff. Who could believe it would have died ?

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.)

I just sold a beautiful 1968 Gibson Heritage to a friend. It was very high mileage, but good condition - and the sound was, well; it just had to be heard. Superb sound. Looks like, from some of these links posted here I couldda got a lot more for it.

sorry for the thread creep.

Well I picked a geetar and I am mighty happy... a 1950 SJ with a whole lot of character. It will be this cowboy's little buddy for life.
