This one is nearly identical to #
67 but has different tuners. 8 large gold-plated individual Guitar tuners do
make the head a little heavier then # 67...but you forget all about that when
your playing it.
They make it a lot easier to tune and I think the extra weight adds to the sound and sustain.
(See details on # 67 below)

One year guarantee to original owner.
Believe me, if any musical instrument can survive 4 whole seasons in a place like Minnesota (where the climate has been known to destroy granite) it should be good to go anywhere!! If any defects or problems arise due to its construction, the instrument will be repaired or replaced at no charge.
