Very interesting. Noticed it's understrung, unusual for a square neck I would have thought. Any info would be appreciated. Good spotting Davey🙂🙂

I'd have liked to have gone and seen that guitar - but I'm just too busy with work at the moment.
Also, I've had two squarenecks in the past - and I never managed to get any good at lapstyle playing - so there's no point me chasing after this one !
It might need some work done to it (repair crack in headstock, if needed, some new coverplate screws (ooh, I'll have that one covered soon !) and have a good look at the cones inside.
When did they start putting a screw in the back of the squareneck, near the headstock (presumably to help retain the headstock in position) ?

This appears to be a very nice instrument in pretty good condition, that with a little TLC could be a a beauty. I would think it still has its original cones and apart from repairing and cleaning up the headstock and a bit of spit and polish on the body, it should be a great instrument. Nice number too!

What about the under stringing?
I've asked the seller for a bit of information but haven't heard back.

After a bit of poking around in the sellers feedback, I believe the seller is "CASH CONVERTERS". A shame for the original owner who probably got £200.

Not me already have a style 2, I am a sucker for a project but at the right price it will end up around £2000 at a guess, then there is the unknown of what is under the coverplate  , nut extender to be replaced, cracked headstock may have to come out which means fingerboard off, other than than not much to bring it up to standard!!! Here is mine  |

Bonzo, I was pretty much bang on with what it would go for, and that price it’s a good deal. Shine On Michael |
