I have NEVER EVER seen a more pristine example of the 5102-T! This thing will NOT go cheap! ALL of the trem is there no less! I had an emerald green Lyle just like this. All I can say is WOW!!!!

It has probably been sitting in a case in an attic or closet for 40 years. All I've seen have neck pocket issues (which is always painfully obvious), missing trem components as well as rust and corrosion on the hardware. There is not a lick of rust or corrosion I can see in the pics. It is by every definition a time capsule.

I kindof expected it to go for more considering its condition. I've seen a lot of the hollows over the years but none that nice. Like it just came off the store floor.
