Re: New to me DR-4

Could you possibly send a close-up of the serial?

If it's not on the back of the headstock it's nowhere. It might have been sanded off, or might have been covered during a refinish.

Have you seen that Steinberger-like bass on the site? Although I prefer a real headstock, it's quite unique. No bigger pictures so far :-(

Re: still love my Talon
