. In retrospect, I should have paid someone to bring me the guitar earlier -a year is a long time to have a "parked" guitar - but hey, I'm glad it's here.The guitar is amazing. After a year of sitting in a case, I just barely fiddled with the position of the bridge to get the intonation straight. It doesn't need anything else at all. The frets are low and worn as they come, but there isn't a single buzz in all of the neck. The action is generously low (didn't adjust the height of the bridge). It feels incredibly smooth to play. Unplugged it sounds really loud and when plugged sounds great: big and warm and fat. Being a Jazzmaster player mostly, this is a really different instrument for me. Finish is gorgeous, the wear on the back on the neck feels great and shows this thing's been loved. It's easy to tell why. Here are a few pics, the ones B had taken prior to the sale were oh so much better but they are gone now.
