iKokomo Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 This is my first full restoration project that I have done! :) Kind of excited how it turned out. I found out that this guitar husk was a 1965 Epiphone Olympic Special. Here is a before and after photos of it. I know it has a Gibson Melody Maker pickguard, but it is next to impossible to find an Epiphone Olympic Special one that is not on a working guitar. The screws fit perfectly though!

aliasphobias Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Nice job! Came out well don't you think? Are knobs original or similar to original? They come across with a Pamela Anderson type vibe, to my eye. It may just be the white on top of the black pickguard. No offense intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iKokomo Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 Nope, actually here are the knobs. They are more old-school then the previous knobs. I saw these old radio knobs and had to have them :) Here is a closeup of the knobs, I got this picture from the eBay auction I bought them from.
