I am starting the no reserve bidding at $8,000 with a buy it now of $11,000. The only issue on this guitar is some fool scratched out the word junior on the headstock. I e-mailed one of the editors from Vintage Guitar Mag and his professional opinion was that the guitar is still in excellent shape and a great example of a '59 junior.  Original chip board case included, and all the clasps still work!  The guitar will be shipped in a new hardshell case with the chipboard case included on the side.  Local pickup welcome. I will ship this guitar overseas, but be aware pricing for overseas shipping will be very expensive.  PLUS--the value of the guitar is more than FedEx, UPS, or the USPS will cover, even if you pay for full insurance.  So, the best option is that once the guitar is paid for, add it to a separate insurance policy that will cover it fully during shipping.  Buyer is responsible for any additional customs, brokerage, or duty fees in additional to any tax their country may require them to pay.
