Really neat knee levers

yeah, nice levers. Too bad he signed it, though. I hate when they do that to an instrument.

Well, it sold five days ago so whoever bought it apparently doesn't mind the signature - but I'm not a fan of that sort of thing either.

I see Nils bought it in 1999 from Neil Young's former long-time guitar tech Larry Cragg. A friend of mine plays bass in a band with him - Larry is a pretty solid steel player.

Have to wonder what the front side of the guitar looks like.

That is an old MSA pickup on there!
