looking good ! ..how about a rear shot of the headstock repair
Have you had a chance to play it yet? How does it sound?
oh no, I haven't seen it other than the pics here. When Greg gets it finished, if he has time he's going to do a quick video sound clip for me. I'll post it on here.
I'm in Calgary, Canada, BCR is in Lemoyne, PA. That's about 2500 miles away from me. I know a couple of very good luthiers here, one guy I consider excellent.
But, this isn't just 'a guitar' to me, this is an extremely important guitar to me. This is my one shot at going full circle back to the guitar I started on. There's only one guy I trusted to do it right. Even at that, Greg exceeded my hopes for how it would turn out.
Sure, it's harder not having the guitar close by so I can pop in to watch the process. But as you can see, I made the right choice.
oh man. I wonder what it'd cost me to fly down there.
That's a wonderful story and I am so glad you are back in "Special LP's." Great guitars. Mine is also a 57 and the neck couldn't be any better for shape. I really enjoyed this restoration as the 50's guitars just have that it factor. This will be enjoyed by many on down the line too. Enjoy in great health. :dude: :hippy :hippy :hippy
Greg and company, fantastic Job!!!!
Thanks, Don. It means a lot to have you say that.
Lookie heah....
