This 1965 Texan shows lots of honest playwear, finish checking, dings, and chips but overall the guitar still presents very well.  It looks the way a vintage acoustic guitar should look after 50+ years of making music.  The guitar has had some professional repairs done by Ryan Lynn of Eastside Guitar Repair, one of the finest shops in Portland.  Specifically, the bridge and end block were reglued.  Ryan also installed a K&K Pure Mini pickup system which sounds great.  

Set up in-house by our esteemed Guitar Tech, this vintage Texan is ready for another 50 years of making sweet music.  If you love vintage guitars like we do, this is one you'll want to give some serious consideration.  Feel free to give us a call in the shop if you want an in-hand description or have any questions before purchasing.
