Bought on Tradera in January, and it seemed from the ad to be in ok shape - as I didn't know the exact meaning of "dings" 
Btw I'm writing in lousy English to avoid more misunderstandings 
Picked it up in Trollhättan, played it for half an hour, and (as I remember) it had a nice neck, pleasant very low sound, very low saddle, seemed to need a neck reset. There was even a stick between the top and bottom inside the guitar, so obviously the top had some serious problems. I went to "Gitarren" in Göteborg asking if he could fix it, he found that the x-brace was broken (in the x), and offered to repair it for a resonable price. Very nice honest guy, and a few days later he called me saying he hadn't succeeded fixing it, suggesting I shouldn't waste more money on further attempts. I had already spent 5000 SEK on the laminated wreck, so perhaps time to stop the madness ;D
He even suggested he'd throw it in the garbage, but nonono, I would rather keep it as it is! Or even better: If anyone lives nearby and would like to give it a try fixing it (he seemed unfamiliar with neck resets, so that may be a solution), please write a reply to this and I'll inform him it's yours. Btw I asked to have the 70's adjustable bridge replaced with a normal one, not sure if he's done that. Anyway the repairs are payed, a bag and new strings are included.
