Lucky me!

Thanks for the input Melissa.

The more I look at it, the more I like the gold, so I'm leaving it alone.
Beautiful 325 you have there!

Hi, Just wondering if anyone here has changed the gold guards and TRC from gold to white on their JG 325v59. It would still have the B5 and perhaps the bowtie which I have yet to install. While I like the looks of the gold, I like the white better. Besides, it would match my JG 4003 and JG 610. Thanks

Here's mine.

Now I want a 6 to go with the 12 too...JG of course.

I'll get a shot or two in the next few days.

After lamenting about not being able to buy Bob's lefty 330/12 FG due to a major home repair, I was finally able to snag another lefty the other day - a 610/12 JG.
It's my first 12 and I love it!

Thanks Ronn,

I've been thinking about that one.
Is that a reasonable price on a used 330?

After finally locating a buying a lefty 4003 I'd been looking for, I decided to turn my attentions to finding a 6 string. I know there are several lefty players here, but wondered if anyone plays a righty Ric that they restring lefty to play. It seems there are just not that many pre-owned lefty Ric...

No discouragement taken Ben, I really appreciate the input.
This is one of those projects that I like to get input on. Especially from the likes of experts that are on this board.

Thanks

Good point. I think I read somewhere that the bodies destined for the transparent colors or MG were the best grains? The finish on the bass is pretty sad though; quite a bit down to the bare wood on the back of the body and between the second and fifth frets on the neck. I can always decide once I g...

Thanks for setting me straight on the sealer/tint question. My comment on the satin sealer was in reference to Rickenbacker's description of the C63S on their website "A satin sealer-only finish helps protect The natural Maple body and neck, as well as the Rosewood fingerboard" I do unders...

Thanks Paul, I do have experience with stripping and a using a paint gun via my car resto days. This would be my first guitar though other than some touch up stuff. My interest in the satin was to get something close to the 4001C64S finish I've heard about plus I've always liked the look of satin fi...

I'm pretty new here, so please be gentle. I have a pretty distressed Jetglo '86 4003 that I'm contemplating stripping and leaving natural. My question is, I am considering a satin finish on the maple and was wondering what I should use for this. Any other tips on doing a Mapleglo refin would sure be...
