OVERALL OPINION

I bought it secondhand in the early 80's and I don't know when it was made (Model Texan 5/296, Serial No 09743).

The guitar aged relatively well: the bridge screws are a bit oxidized, the machine heads lost their shine and the bridge nut started cracking.

I've always used it with only six strings. It stays in tune.

I don't remember the original price.

I'm happy to have hold this guitar and I like its looks.
