I won this on eBay last night and I'm pretty thrilled with it. Although the gold hardware may just be painted not plated.........still, if the finish is what lots of folks are saying it is (including the seller) Cadillac Green....then it is one rare puppy.
Yes....it's a little beat up, but hey...it's over 50 and it may have seen a few bar fights haha. Who knows who owned it over the years - it's a mystery. The seller got it at an estate sale in Pennsylvania and there was no documentation with it....it wasn't even advertised.
I paid a few bucks for it alright....someone else wanted it almost as bad as I did and I had to dig in pretty good to overcome.
I'll post more photos when I get it. It will look really nice in there with my 58 Gold Sparkle Gretsch kit.
