[Dad's 1970 SJ Deluxe]

We have a winner! Good call Zombywoof. Your right foot must be bigger than the other one is....Dad was in the Cdn Navy for 20 yrs. There was an explosion and fire on one of his ships. Three of his friends were killed and many others injured. He found his burst SJ floating face down in diesel fuel. The top was destroyed but the back, sides and internal bracings were relatively intact. He had the top replaced with German Spruce and luckily the guard survived as well and if you look even closer it now has a Martin bridge. I know blasphemy, right? But it sure sounds sweet.

 

Wow awesome story, gotta love a guitar that has a story, and with the new top your sj won't sound like anyone else's.
