62burst Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Sounds goo...great job. Wish I had the resources to such things. well done Auto correct strikes again. Can't make this sh*t up. Only a Gibson is Goo enough. BayouBen- my hopes were that you'd take her outside for a general glam shot photo to add to the epilogue of this saga. Best.

We are supposed to have some sunny days coming up and I'll give it a try. I'll try to do a good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jalex Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 That's a really cool old guitar. I responded at the start of this thread and thought is was a guitar you should pass on due to it's condition. I take back my original post. I think you made a great choice buying it and bringing it back to life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluesKing777 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Nice shots, BB! A lick of paint next? It would look great in my music room next to my L-0! BluesKing777. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

62burst Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Looks great out in the natural light. Much better. Yes, a companion for BK's L-0. Thanks for putting those up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Folks. I could only afford a project like this one time and I'm glad (relieved) it sounds so good. Been playing the hell out of it at gigs. BK, maybe I'll go with this look: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse_Dylan Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Somehow missed this whole thread until now. That is a rescue guitar all right, through and through. These are out there, and if they're lucky (and if we're lucky), they catch someone's heart, as has happened here, the heart of someone who is willing to go the extra mile. I hope you enjoy it thoroughly, but you have also done a service to guitarkind and humankind. Hopefully, thanks to your love and good will, that guitar will outlive all of us and will continue on through the ages to others of open and willing, appreciative hearts. And, to be fair, if you compare what you ended up spending, it is not much more than I spent on a brand new special edition SJ-200, and I did spend more (in trades) on my Hummingbird Vintage than that. It's just a matter of what one wants and how one wants it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been playing the hell out of it at gigs. BK, maybe I'll go with this look: That looks more suited to my L-0! Approx 50 years ago, under advisement from the very, very serious chap I sat next to at school, I used one like this below to finish my first guitar to the amazement of all and sundry, and I think for the J50 - perfect!: http://www.dulux.com.au/products/dulux-exterior-products/spray-paint/product-detail?product=13670 BluesKing777.
