Mine is in antique sunburst :-) & spends far too much time in the case tbh......it's nearly been sold a few time over the years, when I've been really skint, which had been frequently lol....,,,but I could never do it! Well those days are behind me now (hopefully) & it will remain a treasured possession :-) You have got me thinking about my little boy though, he's been playing with the catches lately......must make it safe! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
