They were kind enough to host a gathering in 2007. mike1762 Senior Member Username: mike1762 Post Number: 442 Registered: 1-2008 Posted on Thursday, January 21, 2010 - 2:52 am:    Isn't that THIS SI guitar in the "NC Gathering" pics? hydrargyrum Senior Member Username: hydrargyrum Post Number: 745 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Thursday, January 21, 2010 - 8:11 am:    A pretty guitar.

I thought the selling price seemed a little high, especially with the headstock repair.

Notice the starting bid is now $3850.

I'm curious as to exactly when the repair was performed, as well as if the surgery would be performed in the same manner nowadays. tdukes Intermediate Member Username: tdukes Post Number: 181 Registered: 4-2008 Posted on Wednesday, January 27, 2010 - 5:25 am:    Do you suppose the middle neck laminate is cherry or mahogany?

The lighter colored wood in the neck is probably either Maple or Birch. The middle laminate I'm not sure about, Mahogany, Cherry, or Walnut all sound like possibilities. We did the neck repair in 1980. We fix 'em the same way now. I also found this little note about a modification to the pickup selector switch that we supplied instructions for: I don't think we did the work, but the documentation suggests there is no standby position. Instead it's: 1. both pickups mono 2. bass pickup to both channels 3. each pickup to its own channel (normal!) 4. treble pickup to both channels There's no note that my dad did the work on the rewiring or if the rewiring was ever done. Looks like a sweet guitar.
