The R9K sounds great with the seymour duncan's. I've put in many pickups including a real paf, but I just like the warmth of the SD. The re-issue pickups that came in it run a close 2nd though...

This is my 1965 Country Western. There are some questions on this that I cannot answer such as: The PG goes all the way up to the sound hole and I am not sure if these are the original tuning machines (but I don't think so).

Anyway it sounds great!

Here's a '57 Goldtop that's in the vault and we just got a '59 LP Special that looks as if it's never been played. Pictures coming soon!

Beautiful guitar! I'm not sure about the pickguard, but I am pretty sure those tuners are aftermarket. Do they say Grover on them? I have Grovers that look identical on my old Harmony archtop. They hold tune for weeks.

PapaSquash · 10-30-2009, 05:25 AM

Lefty,

How do you like the Harmony archtop? There's a 60's one for sale locally, I was thinking about taking a look at it.

Well, mine is better than most because it's had a refret, new bone nut, new tuners and a neck reset, so it's in wonderful playable condition. The sound is really kind of bland though. It doesn't have much sustain and it sounds really thin. It doesn't have a lot of bass to it and it's quite trebly. I got mine for $150 from a guy on Craigslist. If it's in good playable condition, get it. Go play it and check it out. They continue to go up in value. The one thing I love about it is the fat neck. It's like half of a baseball bat. I will never part with it because I love it for what it is. It's got it's own place in my collection. Here's a picture. I'm pretty sure it was heavily relic'd by one of its previous owners, but I like it.

You will get there one day man. I had to get a few years into my career before I had the cash & priority to spend on them. But it is a slippery slope; once you spend $20K on a guitar, it is easy to do it again, and again, and again, etc.
