Fingers crossed I've just snagged this nice Corona III-90. It's not in my hands yet, so I don't want to jinx it. Weirdly it's just up the road from me and been sitting on on Reverb for two months and I never spotted it. I don't know why no one bought it, on ebay they usually sell right away.
Unfortunately it means I might have to let go of the Gretsch Duo Jet I just bought, but Duo Jets are common and III-90s don't turn up every day. This will be my third Starfire - I've had a great playing super mint 1960 with Dearmonds (that I was too young to appreciate at the time - couldn't deal with how pokey the pickups were) and 1966 with mini HBs that suffered from a high action; so with the P90s I'll have done them all. Nothing left to achieve
