schundog Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I knew I had a training meeting up near O'Hare Airport in Chicago, so I worked out a deal with PunkKitty to snatch, umm, acquire, her 1985 H-170 with Alumitones. She met me in front of my hotel, and we were shaking hands goodbye 5 minutes later. The guitar is just as advertised; well "loved." I don't know HOW somebody could scratch/gouge the neck as badly as they did, but it's on the high E underside of the neck, and you really don't feel it when playing. I really didn't need this, as I have ANOTHER one of Brent's old 170s, a 1988 with ebony board and bound headstock/neck, but they are too good of a guitar to pass up. I can't wait to get home to try it through an amp. Pics in next post. Thanks Monica! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yuominae Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Those pickups look pretty good IMHO. And the gouging also looks pretty good... if that's how you want to evaluate a well-gouged gouge. Very nice top on that guitar. Nice buy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
