AlanC Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I've had the camera out so I thought I'd post a couple of photos of my '68 Johnny Smith which had a makeover. New pick plate, new frets and a polish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie brown Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Looks Great, nice guitar! I met Johnny Smith, several times, back in the late 1960's. Very nice man, and phenomenal player! He owned a little music store, on 8th Street, in Colorado Springs, that I used to visit, when I was out there, visiting my Aunt and cousins. When he was in, he always had interesting stories, and was very helpful to me, when I was a much younger player. My cousin was a photographer (still is, actually), and did the photos, for one of Johnny's Album covers. CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always really admired Johnny Smith and have luv'd the way he played. In particular his version of 'What are you doing for the rest of your life' has been one one of my all time fave songs.
