They say it's a 1987 but looks to me more like 81? Only 7 hours left but still well under $200. Needs some tlc but looks like a bad mamajama!

Thought somebody might be interested.....

Very nice Genesis at a great price!
The tremolo bridge needs a proper reset, and she's missing one of her string locks, and she's not without some nasty dings, but nothing fatal that can't be repaired.
Too bad the cover plates are also missing. The spring cavity cover had the 65th anniversary info on it.

The serial makes it an 1986 build produced for the 65th anniversary of St Louis Music. This is a beautiful and comfortable player with an unique tone circuit. Read more here: https://westoneguitars.net/guitars/genesis/

Grab it if you can.

p.s. Just for fun, here's my Genesis:

Thanks for the info, barry! I knew next to nothing about that model, sounds like it would have been a sweet find unfortunately i had a family emergency (everything is alright, just a scare) so was unable to have a go at it. Boo.

That sure is a sweet axe you've got!
