Truly a thing of beauty, orvilleowner. The pickguard and pickup covers are pretty bright. Are they original? Either way, it's a looker! 8)


Sadly, those aren't original. The pickups are Texas Specials (from the mid-'90s, with the Custom Shop stickers on the bottoms).

There's no neck date (which makes me think that Tadeo Gomez didn't shape it :( ). The hardware is orginal.

C'mon - how long are you going to keep this up? Post your pictures, please... :wink: Cheers - C


Okay! I was just slow in taking some new pics. And I'm not a very good photographer. Let's start with an introductory pic, followed by one of the body date.

Excellent - thank you for those. :D I am particularly interested to see the shaping of the back of the headstock where it joins the neck. That's a very useful detail.

By the way. Just a suggestion - never modestly mention round here any shortcomings you may feel you have as a photographer. That leads all kinds of places you didn't expect... :lol: :lol:

Anyhow, they look nice photos to me. We can see what we need to - job done!

Thanks Orville - C

Edited - to insert laughing icons so's people are clear I'm joking...

No, the action isn't high. What you are seeing is that the Low E "falls" off of the neck above the 13th fret (or so).
