I've been there and seen that. Fred Oster is a good guy. I'd go with #26 too. Somebody extended the fingerboard down to the rose at some point, and messed up the finish on the top. The fboard should only go another fret's distance. Other than that it looks pretty good to me. Just needs some cleaning up. (and a bridge and strings)
I think he has other eng guits for sale that may not be on the web site. Plus he has a very interesting Philadelphia-made guittar that's not for sale. With the original case and capo! If you buy something and you're coming through NYC I'd love to see it. andy rutherford On 12/7/06, Doc Rossi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Frankly, I think you'd be better off with #26. > > On Dec 7, 2006, at 12:17 AM, Christopher Davies wrote: > > > greetings all, > > has anyone taking a look at the instrument(s) for sale at this shop in > > philadelphia?
