L5 Finish Question

Hannu, have you posted photos of your Super 400? If not, I'd love to see it. Had a '64 once myself.

 

Jim,

Thanks for asking, I will post pictures of it soon (I hope). Right now I am waiting for the custom order pickguard to arrive from Ohio, then the guitar will go to Long & McQuade in Toronto where their pickup expert will overhaul the guitar's electronics, fix or change the pots, clean the pickups, wiring, and fix the bridge pickup that is out of phase. Then, we have another guy lined up to take a look at the lacquer conditioning and give his recommendation. He will also attach the new pickguard.

Then - it is recommended that the guitars truss rod is turned - even if there is no obvious reason for it, to make sure that the truss rod is not stuck which can happen for a guitar this old.

After all this we should be ready for a photo op. :-)

Hannu
