Can't seem to get a good description of the neck from the seller, point being it is a rather subjective judgement. Tell me, what's a reasonable number to buy this for? And, btw, thanks Jim for the kind words. You, sir, are a peach.

I just thought the 25th was kinda cool. I'm actually watching a 95 Artist GATASO here that appears to be very nice. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...A%3AIT&rd=1 What's your fav Artist, Travis?

Travis, just lookin at the Mahogany. I like the bling on the fancy ones for sure, but I'm lookin for a player, not a collection piece. Thanks for the heads up on the Ultimates. Tim

Anybody have one for sale?

Ron, yer just sayin that cuz I let ya beat me up! Just kiddin! Likewise, Ron is great to deal with. Glad it's goin to a good home.

Still available, folks.

I'll respond when I get home.

Thanks for the good word.

Hi Paul, thanks for your comments. I'm a little surprised this hasn't sold by now.

Weekend bttt. C'mon people, yeah the bridge is ugly, but it works just fine.

Thanks, man. C'mon, somebody buy this. It's a damn good guitar with no playing issues. The bridge is gnarly but it functions as it should.

Just checked with Kim Keller. Most Daytonas were ash but there were a few alder bodies too. In his opinion and based on the weight he thinks it is probably ash, fwiw.

My 80 Special bought from Pirate Flynn has a set of Crossroads. They are killer.

Thanks, bro. Appreciate the assist.

Mo pics as requested.

Anybody, are these ash or alder? Thanks

Here's a pic of the bridge, as requested. Howzat for a close up?

I'm not sure, but I think they are alnico II. Can't say for sure if they are original. Maybe Pastor Paul or one of the other more learned members can help with this?

Thanks for the assist, Gabe. Ben, contact Pastor Paul. He changed out the parts. Tim

I'll try to shoot a good close up of it tonight. I'm guessing it is some version of a Wilkinson but I'm no expert on these things.

To answer a question about rust, the saddles still have some rust and are somewhat burnished from Paul's cleaning efforts. The rest of the metal parts are aged but not rusty.

Here's some info for those wanting to know about the neck profile. This is how Pastor Paul described it in his for sale post. The neck profile is not skinny, but it isn't chunky either. I have had Daytonas with fatter necks. How is that for a precision answer? I would agree with his description and add that the fret board is fairly flat compared to the radius of Fender strats and Teles I've owned.

Just bought this from Pastor Paul last month but sadly haven't bonded with it. Here's the description of the guitar from Paul's For Sale post: "This Daytona was really dirty with a lot of oxidized parts and the white hardware was nasty. It's a black guitar with a white MOTO pickguard, so I put black pickup covers, knobs, and switch tip on it. It looks pretty cool. I took off all of the bridge saddles and oiled the parts. There is still some rust, but everything works smoothly. There are a few spots of surface wear on the maple fretboard, and a couple of spots where the lacquer wore on the fretboard edge (one I touched up), but the frets are in fine shape. One really nice thing about this guitar is its resonance, tone, and playability. It is an excellent guitar that is easily the match of, and probably superior to, Fender Strat Plus or American Deluxe guitars. It may not have quite the cosmetics, but it is a superb playing and sounding guitar. It does have locking Sperzels like a Strat Plus. There is a lot of surface wear on this guitar in the form of dings, dents, scuffs, scratches, hazed parts, but the wear and tear is in the finish, not through it. No bare wood on this guitar. The Hamer case is pretty torn up on the outside, though all latches are fine and it is structurally sound. I used black duct tape on some of the areas to cover the bare wood and hold the vinyl/leather down and protect it from further tearing. The weight is nice: 7 pounds, 6 ounces. It has classic Hamer resonance and sustain, and it is a good player, set up with '10's. The bridge is tightened down, but the trem bar comes with it (new black tip to match the other parts, too!) At $450 including shipping plus any PayPal fee, it isn't a steal. But I think it is a fair price for a really good guitar." Offering it up here for the same price, $450 shipped plus Paypal fees. Would prefer USPS money order. It's in the same state as when I received it from Paul. I have more pics on Photobucket. Let me know if you wanna see them.

Happy Birthday, David!!!

Our prayers are with you and your family, Marty.
