I almost bought it, but I liked the sound of the pf10 better. It had a real nice sound with more low end. The guy said it was a 70's model, but I have yet to see it in any of the vintage catalogs. I was wondering if that type of headstock was common in the early days, or is it really a newer guitar?

Any Ideal on how much one in decent shape(pick guard scratchs only) would be worth?

Have you done a Search on the word Lonestar in the Acoustic section to see what else has been written about them?

I like playing nylon string but hate the really fat wide necks. I paid $300.00 for my Lonestar (I think a LE450) on eBay, only guy that bid on it. Hope this helps.

Earthdog Username: Earthdog Registered: 07-2005 Posted on Monday, July 11, 2005 - 1:31 pm:    Beautiful collection! Was there alot of variation in the lonestar line? The one I saw had centered fret dots and it was not a thin body, although nothing I've read indicates that they all were thin bodies. I'm not sure cause it's not in front of me, but I think it had a standard round sound hole also. Headstock looks the same though.

Johns Username: Johns Registered: 02-2001 Posted on Tuesday, July 12, 2005 - 7:48 am:    Acetan: Cool catalog. I've never seen it before. What year is it from? Put a cutaway (like the LS335), gold Grover machines and an electronics system into either of the LS550s and I'd buy it new today.
