I just saw this and thought that at the very least it would look cool on the wall in my new apartment next to my banjo and another acoustic.

what do you guys think?

I think guitars can be real nice decoration devices! :)
Unfortunately, they are usually more expensive that paintings. This one isn't...

It looks pretty old though. You might need to make some additional investment to restore it...

i just got a hold of him. looks liek the only crack is a small one near one of the holes. i dont think he knows what he's talkign about. one of the holes? one of the sound holes or what?

oh well, I am going to offer him $30 cash for me to pick it up, i think it just looks so cool with that sunburst. should go great on a wall.

yea 50 bones seems a bit steep for that, but if you can talk him down to 30 that would be a great deal.

Did he sell it to you for $30? You should take it to get restored if you have the money for it. It would probably cost you aroun $300 to get it in good condition but it would be worth it.
