I bought this guitar at Goldie and Libro's Music in1973 for $200. It was already used at this point. Ironically I bought it
while on suspension from boarding school for an un-named offense, and everyone thought it was funny that I got suspended
and came back with a sweet new axe!
This was my main guitar for about 10 years. I love the way the finish is almost completely gone from the fingerboard. Just like Rory Gallagher! But more likely because I used to clean it with water...
There have been lots of mods, most particularly the addition of a stacked humbucker at the middle position, and jumbo frets. The 3-bolt neck attachment of 70s Strats has caused me issues. It's now shimmed and pinned into place.
