Dallastx Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 Well. It seems the guy that found it put beige p/us in it and a pickguard. The wood on the headstock is damaged. Curious to see how hey are going to fix that and the floretine binding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harmonics101 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I think I saw a pic on some other forum ? Is it that electric guitar ? For goodness gracious, restoring an electric SOLID body guitar ? Compared to restoring an acoustic, it can't be THAT much rocket science. Its a solid hunk of wood with inserted electrics fer cryin' out loud !! B) Harmonics101 Poly or nitro ?? ROFL good one !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender 4 Life Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 that guitar went thru "mojo" territory into "magical" status before it disappeared......i guess now it's into "miracle" status? i can't wait to HEAR it again !! i'm one that "hung on every note" Mr.Frampton played "back in the day"......he sure didn't NEED his box&blowtube to make a guitar talk, or squeal,scream,sing,yodel,or whatever he wanted it to do !! i love his current videos and am glad he's made his comeback(though he never really left for long at a time). & i'm so happy he's getting his axe back that i could just poop!(couldn't tell now, could you?)

LarryUK Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Now if they could just find his hair......... It must be where mine is going. Mine keeps getting thinner. I think Gibson will do a great job of his guitar. It's an iconic guitar. I doesn't look that bad to me. Plus it'd be a great 'up' with all the downs they're having. They'll have their best on that. It'll come back like new. Imagine hoe Frampton feels. He must be so excited. Like finding a lost child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveinspain Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I bet the guy who found it had no idea that junky guitar was worth 2 million dollars... I'd like to hear more on the story of who found it, how they found it and where it was all this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanvillRob Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Now if they could just find his hair......... Oh man...that's LOW! I've always loved his Black LP with 3 pickups and gold trim. If I ever got a LP, that's what I'd prefer! I do have one of those "Squak Boxes"....but I've never used it....maybe one day! Anyway....glad he got it back, and I hope the guy who stole it is found out and punished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KL Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 It'll come back like new. It won't be like new because he has asked them to leave the burn marks from the fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have one of those "Squak Boxes"....but I've never used it....maybe one day! Anyway....glad he got it back, and I hope the guy who stole it is found out and punished. . It was not stolen, it was lost in a plane crash, then somehow it was tracked down by two dedicated fans by"unknown" means. YES, someone else had possession of it, (probably scavenged from the wreckage, long after the fact). that does NOT make it stolen, and besides, who cares? A very important piece of R&R history has found it's way "back from the dead" so to speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
