325c58 Conversion to '58 Spec

[(redamber)]

Congrats Dan! I like it, but of course I may be a bit biased because V91 sits here beside me!

COOL! Thank you!

As a lucky owner of a 2008 Rose Morris 1996 re-issue, I thought that I had got the 325C58 model out of my head - but after reading this topic, I'm not so sure!

Great work, Dan

Great work, Dan

I was in the same situation...once. Those 1996's are very special.

So it looks like one of my pictures screwed up...here's the larger version again:



And a headstock pic. My tech sanded down the nut so it looks one piece, but trust me, it's two!

Thanks for the extra pics Dan. It's looking very much like an early batch '58, albiet black

Thanks, Glen! I'm working on obtaining an aluminum bridge for it now.

I'm in between cutting an f-hole for it or getting a bevel done on the top edge. Either way I'll probably do a proper nitro refin sometime in the future.

Just the bridge base should be all you need

Not my best playing (and I'm still getting the hang of bending on a 325), but here's a clip for you guys:



Again, thanks to everyone who helped me with this project. The guitar plays great!
