I think that her family ran Terminal Music at the time. I remember wondering if I should spend so much money on a guitar; $112.00 w case, shipped to Bloomington Indiana. It arrived a day or so after Christmas and I fell in love. It has just had a warranty neck reset and general clean-up this last year. After two years not playing due to a broken wrist and more years due to a high action, I'm playing again on a lovely old friend that sounds better now than 50 years ago.Dave Bnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4613893995913129147.post-81851543806656781442014-04-05T20:09:33.767-07:002014-04-05T20:09:33.767-07:00

Today I play a '71, my main guitar and I play daily. Tone to die for, comfort galore, and a funky, good looking box to boot.<br />Other than the maple to the larger rosewood bridge plate and tortoise to black binding somewhere in late '67, I don't think the 0-16NY has experienced any changes in the specs.<br />That said, I have seen one with a solid peghead. <br />This guitar will stay with me 'till long after I can't play anymore, then my son will have it.

But it got a cracked top when smashed in the trunk of a car on the way to Denver and I ultimately gave it away to a fellow named Paul (I have his last name, but probably shouldn't post it here). I recently found the original receipt with serial number etc. (239680) and would love to know its whereabouts today or even if it still exists. This was a great guitar and I taught myself alot of John Fahey slide blues on it. It's a 12-fret, no pick guard, white plastic pegs, embroidery style rings about the sound hole and very nice action. The top (if it hasn't been replaced) has a poorly repaired crack running from the peg saddle down toward the bottom, on the right side (treble side).<br />Anybody out there know about this? Guitar was last seen in St. Louis in 1973. Thanks.<br />TedScherfThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10599070525445623745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4613893995913129147.post-82035247447765295152011-07-03T11:01:06.094-07:002011-07-03T11:01:06.094-07:00I thought that the 0-16NY was first made in 1961? ...I thought that the 0-16NY was first made in 1961?

It has some battle wonds since I had it in Vietam in 1967-68 and around the world several times. UNlike myself it sounds as good or better now than when I received it.<br /><br />Of course I like to think that I play better after so many years.<br /><br /> I've had offers to buy it, but it is all I have of my parents and my youth. <br /><br />Thank you for the history and making my day.<br /><br />adriaann@camillaga.netAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4613893995913129147.post-17218599070185345412010-05-18T07:00:39.724-07:002010-05-18T07:00:39.724-07:00Marc,

Singer songwriters preferred it because the output of the instrument never overshadowed their voices. Particularly when the PA systemes were so bad.miguellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16053742360448248627noreply@blogger.com
