One Nut reversal later (hold the crude jokes) and she's DONE!!
My totally re-done MIM 60's Reverse Special!!
Like the before photo shows...she formerly had a Maple neck...7.5" radius.....NOT my favorite radius..mind you...
Now she sports a new American Special rosewood with my favorite radius...9.5"!!Along with Fender/Schaller locking tuners!
I picked this up for a song on E-Bay!!

She feels totally different now!! Much better...IMHO. I am a recent ROSEWOOD convert and the new warmth suits me just fine!! The Maple was just too darned bright for me!

On a more anal retentive note.....I really dig the reversed spelling on the headstock!!

Nice, a left handed neck.

I also love the big headstock and the upside-down logo.
