(SNEAK PEAK!) Just back form Dave Johnson, 2009 '59 done with a Pearly Gates theme, complete refin, Brazilian rosewood fingerboard, aging and wear to replicate the original guitar, even the fingerboard has some wear, real belt buckles were used for the back wear(see pictures), many aftermarket parts including a custom wound set of PG pickups from Jon Gundry at ThroBak, I'm just listing this as a preview, all of the details and more pictures will be posted soon and the guitar will be priced.

I had the pleasure of seeing this one in person today, and it was amazing! Dave really outdid himself...yet again! And Mark did a great job with all the parts relicing too. It kills me that I'm in GAA right now (guitar acquisition anonymous), and must resist (or risk facing divorce court)! LOL
