I remember 10 years ago - the Standard had slightly thicker back-braces than the so called the True Vintage then. Be aware, , , check - and please report. Have a lucky hunt.

Excellent ~ side-aspects like that matter

A serious and very fine looking guitar. It may look a bit like chocolate - bet it doesn't sound like that. Congratulations

Exciting 🌳 So now beech is the question.

Oh yea, the 'dated' thread was remembered the same moment I threw my eyes on the first lines of this one. And it's always better to get some re-theories presented than to see them (actually not see them) disappear down the crack of time. . However I believe we are out in an exaggeration. There might be an effect, , , also due to the down belly reaching further over the vibrating mother-zone of the top, but to mark the up/down as a factor in the Gib/Mart identity-variation is, , , may I say a bridge too far. . Rarely happens - and it's a mistake. These 2 fliers are just so apart and intriguingly related at the same time. Vintage Kalamazoo made a master-move by filling that gap between the then new Bird and the grand old 200. How I wish it was possible to watch a movie of the very moment somebody got the 💡 for and suggested the name.

Hi all Newbies - welcome to RABFK > The Republic of Acoustically Bliss Fun & Knowledge <

Okay - and have to agree. My 4 vintage squares look nothing like, , , neither do the 50s/60s slopes. .

Good - the pebbles are no aesthetical disaster. . And probably comes wilder across on the photo.

The thread isn't dated at all. 'Pebbled appearance', , , great expression - and I must admit it looks a bit peculiar. As if something in the process merged a little out of control. Nice pictures too ^

That's a nice uke. But why is the p-guard shaped like the state called J-45. . To be serious, this is probably a very fine sounding retro-slope. And it's pretti too. . The adjustable saddle is of course an issue. As you you might recall, not because it's adjustable, which is a plus in this temple - but due to the tusq. Tuqs isn't the right material for these components - white porcelain is. It's either ceramic, , , , , , or rosewood/palisander. I would try to find a second hand original on the web and have some comparison-fun. Not impossible, , , neither all cheap. Congs & Good Luck

Absolutely did - here an F-minor in the advanced position.

All in all it seems you are satisfied with the new slope (which must be a black nut Standard ?). Stick to it and see what happens. I remember how the voice changed after switching the (non-grooved but compensated B-string) tusq-saddle for bone on my 2010 Std. Both sounded splendid. Also recall it had a lot of sticky black grease running from the neck the first hot summer and actually seemed very compressed for many years. No prob when f-picked - very pronounced when strummed. It's a bit of a monster, yet highly treasured. Gets muddy as the strings fade and eventually becomes slightly boring. Not on tape though. . Enjoy the guitar and tell how it goes

Mattias Krantz, aha, , , I would have thought it was German. .

Here's a rocket U didn't see come >>>>>

>☺️< A solid surprise

Zomb - You saw Ivanhoe, The Longest Day, Woodstock and Jaws. And spiced it up with some Russ Meyer things. . .

But a pretty good looking brown/golden headstock.

Yes, but that bridge isn't original. Neither is the 1966, which I'm sure U know.

U did good 🌲 Merry X-mas

Good memory - have a very weak spot for J.C.s here. (and btw. listened to a couple of other versions after enjoying your version) Same back to you.

Thx. Yes lots of possibilities in those 4 knobs, , , which logic I haven't really figured. . Can I ask - have you noticed a film over the spanking new P-guard ?

This tops previous greetings ▲ - and how for a kool song ☃ May that Casady 4-string continue to guide you through rain fog sun blizzards & bliss

Good luck fester - this ain't supposed to happen.

Get ya. .
