It's obviously genuine Jim, he used to go on about it all the time.

I wonder what tunes he played without a neck. :lol:

Cheers, Alan.

I wonder if this lady is a marriage guidance councillor. Some twenty years ago the former Mrs. Bakewell and I saw a lady who said what sounded like, "If I were you I'd kimoff". 8-)
Perhaps she was refering to Kinmans and my marriage could have been saved. :(

I'll drop her a line.

Do you suspect that somewhere beneath her new concrete patio there's a body and a bloodstained maple neck?

This was obviously what Hank used on his track 'Invisible man'

I think I will use this listing as an example of 'how not to do it' with my eBay classes.

I think the person is not a woman, and is craftily selling a guitar dressed to look like a Fender and with gold parts and so no guarantee of what you are getting, so price was OTT. However tempting it is probably yet another fake being palmed off on to someone else with a sad sob story, my fingers bleed for her :lol:
