Just picked this up today. Pretty excited about it. A couple of pretty stable cracks probably need a little extra stabilization and I may swap to an adjustable bridge at some point but I really love it. Added a few pics, looks like the one mzurer just added. Mine is solid top but laminate back (and probably sides). It has a serial number on the back of the headstock. Bought it to bring to the office for lunchtime playing but I think I'll leave it home and bring my Michael Kelly A Solid to the office. The Stradolin has much better tone and character.
That looks fantastic. Love the tortoise shell tailpiece cover, and I've never seen tuners quite like those. A real find!
Yeah I've really fallen for this old thing. Unfortunately I don't know how long those original tuners are going to last but those things are just covers so if I have to replace them I can still use the covers. I also think I may put a new bridge on eventually.
That looks like a nice one. I had one with tuners like that...the covers were weird. On the ones I played regularly I replaced the tuners with new Schaller tuners, and they worked great.
