Spanish Fort, Alabama, 365**, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

$3500

This guitar has been in my possession for over 25 years. I'm an acoustic player and this guitar has stayed in the case most-of-the-time. Items worth note: VERY little fret wear on "jumbo" frets (quite wide by acoustic standards). Original case, original tremolo bar, original condition. I removed the neck to verify the date, etc. If you're reading this -- I trust you've done your homework and know all of the markings / signings match what is to be expected from this 40+ year-old guitar. ... more

Vintage 1985 G&L USA Invader Electric Guitar -Antique White Finish with Kahler
This one is a time capsule. I have never had a G&L from this era that was this well preserved

The neck is straight and the frets show average wear. It's in very good playing ... more
