  1. Looks like a swimming pool top....splash😁
  2. I saw a post from someone who had a 1975 S-1. He said there was a date in the neck pocket. Just an idea!?
  3. The white guard looks nice on it..👍
  4. Yep, it definitely was/is a J160E. It always amazes me how some of these guitars end up after a lot of years of play and bad repairs, etc. A proper bridge and saddle would be a good start in putting it back together to its former glory. However, it may play fine,as is.
  5. Agreed! I have also, long ago, purchased the nut files and have also made my own bone nuts for some guitars. Easy does it, a little at a time, and patience......makes for satisfactory results!
  6. Do you have any more pictures? It would help to see the headstock and bridge.
  7. Very cool! It seems that the tremolo circuit can get troublesome in a lot of vintage Fender amps also. When they work well, there is nothing like them.....:-)
  8. Very cool! I just love some amp porn Show us a "back-shot"
  9. The neck pickup is a replacement. 4K reading indicates that they are wired parallel possibly!
  10. Whats going on with you, ya "old wanker"?

    Have you had any news or word from GillianGirl (Karen)??? Miss that gal!

  11. Hey Anne, Did you go to the SC show? If so, how was it?

  12. Sorry, but I don't "get it"? Maybe a better pic would help. What color is it exactly? If you have only had it out of the case 20 times in six years....that could be the problem....in my opinion. The dye from the case interior could be migrating to it. You should really let the guitar "get out" more. A little sunshine does a body (and guitar) good
  13. Did you meet John and carry the guitars to him or ship them?
