That was covered in nicotine and tar which I cleaned off but it still exudes a pungent aroma of heavy duty smokes from inside. That tough old guy may be gone but his essence is still hanging around that old box!Nick Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01881926990747095170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-481800995380700338.post-80147676513046557622018-03-18T11:12:18.594-04:002018-03-18T11:12:18.594-04:00Pretty magnificent guitar.
