by Alan Labostrie
(Detroit,MI)

I'm interested in a general appraisal . . It is is in very good shape with a slight modification . . It says "Bad Ass" on the string anchor device . . .I purchased the instrument about 6 years ago . . I'm guessing the "Bad Ass" moniker isn't original . . .Serial Number is 635607 . . .Maple neck /natural finish/

Hi Alan--

Here is the Blue Book pricing info:

1975-1978

Mint $2,500
Exc.+ $2,000
Exc. $1,650
Avg.+ $1,450
Avg. $1,200
General $1,000

I am guessing that the "Bad Ass" will reduce the value some, but I have no way of knowing how much.
Maybe the tail piece can be replaced with original type equipment if you are concerned about it.
