Nice looking guitar. The high action is mentioned more than once and is given as a reason for accepting its return from previous purchaser. (Anyone we know?)
Something to keep in mind if interested.
Best wishes to you all, John

This is a Continental built with the same tooling as the Shanghai body shop uses. The tooling was at some point shipped to China and was one of the catalysts that kick started the Shanghai resonator guitar industry. Hence "Continental" cones.

I have looked at this a few times, until you open it up it will not be clear what is causing the high action, so the German sausage strikes again....Fear the Wurst....

Hi! I've been looking at this one too, it's been on sale for months slowly being reduced to where it's at now.
Sent back because the action was too high? Take another look at the string alignment with the neck. At the very least the tailpiece is in the wrong place and needs moving to the right and then the saddle slots needs re-cutting or more likely the saddle replaced. Tell me if I'm wrong. Some of the description is inaccurate too, Mid 80's?, Continental didn't start until 1992, this is a 1994 made guitar. Chris.
