Really really nice! What a great catch. Any comments about the sound and playability?

I think it's had a refret as well. It sounds great playing the blues. I only have an orange tiny terror right now (my old vox from 1966 got stolen), but I'm looking for an old plexi Marshall. I'm a lizzy fan, but for hard rock, I'd rather play my Les Pauls. :dude:

Can I ask a favour please? I rebuilt my old 80s Japanese Strat a few years ago (well for the tenth time, but hopefully the last). I did a full nitro refin, new neck and a lot of new hardware really aiming for the '61/'62 vibe.

One thing I'm not sure of is bevels/contours. Is there any chance of a few side and back pics? If nothing else it may help me sleep better at night.

...or you know, build another guitar ##

Thanks all. I could do that Tom Rodney- I have a nice Nikon camera (this one was taken with my iPhone) I'll see what I can do....
