For the record, I never really doubted the provenance of the guitar. I was more concerned with the idea of believing a story (not necessarily yours) just because it was from the words of an 80 year old mouth.
Also, and you should maybe take this on board, from all your questions & separate threads, you sounded like someone looking to make a profit from selling the guitar after you'd bought it. It happens a lot, here there & everywhere.
Finally, don't knock the mods. They do a sterling job, for free, and this is the best guitar forum out there. In fact the vast majority of folk here are good, genuine people. There are several folk I'd consider experts who frequently chime in on amp, guitar & effects questions. The mods
do lock threads but it's rare. Most of the macho rock assholes, easily triggered & looking for a fight, come & go very quickly.
Stick around. You'll like it here
You think you can't, you wish you could, I know you can, I wish you would. Slip inside this house as you pass by.
