Hello,
I own one of those guitars. She has one of those "lightweight" aftermarket wraptails.
I'd be interested in buying yours. I think it can't be bad to offer her along original parts - in case I ever will sell the guitar.
I really don't know what a fair price would be, so I cannot make an offer. Perhaps in the ballpark of a good aftermarket part ?
Hi...Re your post ....."My 531XXX shipped on 1/7/69. I call it a 68!". DO you have any evidence on this? the only reason I ask is mine is 5310XX and as far as I could find out this to shipped first week in Jan......any info would be appreciated. Ta.
