Thank you! Yes, although she needs a little TLC, I'm already thrilled! I just got the pickup screws (7 out of 8 were missing), truss wrench and brass polish I ordered from Alembic, so I'll be giving her the 'full treatment' this afternoon (total overhaul, setup and strobination). Already one of the most amazing instruments I've ever played, I can't wait to unleash it at it's full potential. Thanks in no small part to the plethora of info on this board, by this time tomorrow I should be well on my way to global domination! | ||

William, Welcome to the forum and congrats on your recent acquisition. The lookups may take a little time as most of the records are hand written. When your request is located Mica will post the info back to the thread. Play it Healthy! Art | ||
