I'm in. Picked this G1000 up for

$60 last night. The girl I bought it from said she bought it new 12 years ago and then never learned to play it. I don't know to believe her or not. There was absolutly no fret wear on it.
There were no strings on it and I don't believe there had been strings on it for quite a while. The neck was so back bowed it took me all last night and most of today to straighten it back out. I clamped it and wrapped it in a heating blanket and it did come back. The relief is good, the action is spot on 4/64 and the intonation is just slightly sharp on two strings. I'll give it a while in the man cave to acclimate and adjust it all again in a week.

Anyone know if these are made in the USA?



My guess is '95?



Its a blue burst and its hard to photograph the blues...
