Absolutely beautiful!
Did you remove the pickup covers? I noticed they are still there on the '89 photo.

Thanks, I pulled the covers.

What a great story! Is the bit of extra color by the pickup selector a result of a hang tag? Very cool!

I have to make it down to SC to play with you two....I"ll have to bring my lowly 54s though....unless the project works out that I talked to you about Eric....I may go see it this weekend. Still waiting for the guy to call me back.

I go to SC (mainly Columbia) every now and then with work. I want to come jam too!

Thanks. It's funny, that spot by the switch is much more noticeable in photos than it is to the naked eye.

I'm not in Columbia. Where else do you visit in S.C.?

I wouldn't go that far, but I appreciate the sentiment. When I'm asked about it, I usually say that I didn't find the guitar, it found me.
