Hey everyone - I'm a pedal steel guy and my buddy asked me about a guitar belonging to his father-in-law who recently passed away. I told him about the forum and he asked me to post.
Can anyone tell me (him) anything about it?
Thanks

There's some famous player's signatures on the back of that thing. Stringmasters, especially in that condition, often sell for beaucoup bucks today. To call it a desirable instrument would be an understatement. Nice!

Exactly like mine (1/56 in the tuner cavity)...except for the signatures.
