A most handsome instrument, Michael. Congratulations and thanks for posting the photo.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

Cool guitar, Mike. Welcome to the forum! :)
The JETGLO finish name should be officially changed to JETGLO ROCKS! :-)

Welcome to the RRF!
Nice guitar, cool picture too!
I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

Lovely guitar! I have a 430 too (mine is JG from Feb 1976). They are really under rated guitars....

Enjoy it. :D :D

Also don't forget to ad it to the register!

No, I sure didn't. I got it from a fella by the name of "Jeep"... and that's no joke. Funny thing that... as I've got an old '65 Land Rover! :lol:

Hey, that's almost identical to mine! I've never actually seen another one. Mine is a July 1975.
