I've loved the Thompsons that I've had in my shop, and here's another great one. I think Ted's guitars are really one of the best bang for the buck guitars you can buy - they punch way, way above their weight. This guitar is snappy and crisp, but also powerful with a lot of headroom. Comes with custom Hoffee case (a $1250 value!), which is reflected in the price.

Cosmetically, this guitar is in good condition. It was owned by an influential touring musician, so it has relatively light playwear from being on the road. A couple of scrapes on the top, finish swirls, light marks here and there. Nothing too bad, and no cracks or anything.
