SN 308XXX, with the Super 20 style keyguards, and triangular guard on the opposite side of the bell keys. 95% original lacquer. Double socket neck fits well, even though it seems most repair guys gnash their teeth over this idea that turned out to be not as good as it seemed.
Had it sitting in the closet for years. Bought for around $500.
Seemingly ordinary horn that I had figured was not really worthwhile.
Just had it repadded for $500.
This thing is great. Sound is better than almost every Super 20 I've played.
Powerful, rich corinthian leather, no wait..
Intonation is right there, no micromanaging required ( Brilhart HR ).
Sure, the low C# ergonomics are a little hard to manage but not horrible.
But it's very very good. And for the money, even better.
Maybe I just lucked out and got a great one or maybe they are just good.
