Just acquired same from Intermountain in Salt Lake City. It's an oddball and I really like it. The neck was redone, probably in the 60s. The pot is probably from the 19-teens and is sort of 12 inches.

It's not heavy (good.) It's not loud (also good.) Nice action and pretty in a shabby chic sort of way.

Someone's probably going to want pictures. I'll do that or get permission of the dealer to repost his.

If I already didn't have two L/N's, I would have bought that, especially at the price it was listed at. I have an Orpheum plectrum and would have like a 5 string mate for it, as they are so tastefully inlayed, with extremely playable necks, and sweet tone. Congrats!

MP3: What Would The Prophets Say? Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago: The religious basis of authority in the Middle East (or anywhere for that matter) is the source of a lot of suffering and is unsustainable. The violence is mostly perpetrated on women and children.
MP3: You'll Never Leave Texas Alive Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago: A sad murder ballad of a sort. Some murderers wear nice clothes and use pens and paper to kill and never see their victims.
MP3: Ten Years On Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago: A lament, written for the 10th anniversary of the Sandy Hook school shooting. Sadly there are still parents who are irresponsible or foolish, and parents who suffer as a result.
MP3: Shutdown The System Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago: The pursuit of money is alienating, enervating, and exhausting. Here’s a song of resistance to finance capitalism.
MP3: Take The Wheel Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago: A song about mentorship, inspired by my mentor and HIS mentors too, that takes the form of the story of a ship’s mate being “shown the ropes”. The old sea captain may also have been a long-neck player
