'52 conversion w/DJ refin

Big John · 11-04-2009, 04:58 PM

Val McCallum (L.A. studio/session player & son of "Ducky" actor on NCIS) is selling his '52 conversion that Dave refin'd last year. The original top is center-seamed and has some figuring. It's a very cool guitar. Val's a funny and nice dude, that can play circles around just about everybody.

Holy Son of Man from U.N.C.L.E.....

I just noticed that Val isn't offering shipping on this, but I think he can be persuaded.

LPF pointed out some goobers: pickup routes and color choice. I don't know, I wouldn't mind owning it.

Does he have authentication on the Paf's,parts and work done.

For the refin verification, I've seen it in Dave's shop with my own eyes. As to verifying the other stuff, that'd be a good set of auction questions to ask Val through eBay. I don't think it'd be that big of a deal to verify any of it; Val's a pro.
