Have you ever been drunk shopping for a guitar online and then didn't remember the purchase until the next day afternoon, when tracking messages started to appear in your phone? I did. That's how I got this guitar. I got it from Bucharest, Romania (of all places) and it finally arrived few days ago, '63 Eko 500-3V. I was pretty terified at first from the sole pic I've recieved, since it is obviously missing some frets, one bridge tuner and one saddle. But the price was still quite nice, so I went ahead with it.

after closer inspecition, I was kinda relieved that everything else is in a pretty good shape. all the electronics are working, despite the fact there was some kind of active electronics mod under the pickguard years ago

I am still looking for that single tuner though, does anyone have any idea where to get it?
