Wow, that is in incredible condition! Where did you manage to bag it from? Was it a store or a very careful owner?

KrisGee

Love that top.

I can say "phwooooar" because it's allowed! 
Enjoy and have a great time playing that beast. 

Keiko

Nice, but what's that line near the toggle switch?

What year is it, out of interest? My local guitar shop had something of a seemingly identical spec in stock last year (albeit not quite as pristine), and I would have loved to buy it as it was a birth year guitar for me - 1982.

Sadly way out of my budget, but one can dream!!

@robdynamite I bought it from Rosco Levee, a popular blues guitarist from Kent. 

Apparently he was so attached to the guitar that he even wrote a song about her.. called old Bessie.. 

I am linking a video below where he is playing my custom!

@Keiko ;This line is wood grain.

It's a three piece top.  But it doesn't matter at all.. what a beast! Congrats

My thoughts exactly. Everything I don’t like when taken in isolation but it just seems to work on that guitar. Stunning! Congratulations
