To be fair I did notice in the first pic there wasn't a middle pickup and I was thinking wait a minute that's not a 1993 plus ....lol

well spotted...this is one for the purists, with the fine balance of the two pick-ups

Ah - you had us there .

I have my own production line for making the inlays. I've done a few fretboards now.

P.s. is that your converted white 1993? It looks great!

This is the third Pearl White that I have converted (the other two retained the dot inlays of the PW when they were converted to a more standard 1993 spec, whereas I wanted to go with the triangle inlays and bound fretboard for this one as an homage to the original Townshend OS 360S/12). See pic below of one of the ones I had converted to 1993 spec next to this one.

AFAIK there are also two other PW guitars which retained the factory white finish but were converted to 12 string format and fitted with more correctly sized 21 fret pickguards (both of those guitars were owned by forum members at the time of conversion and may still be in their possession).

So, of the original 10 PW f-hole guitars shipped to England in 2012, there can be no more than 5 remaining which are still in the original factory 6 string PW format.

The work to convert this guitar to an OS 360S/12 spec was completed by William Young who, as usual, did an excellent job.

For reference, Pete's original OS 360S/12 here:
