I've done a lot of work on this guitar. The headstock and nameplate are reshaped. I installed a new thick nut. The finish was stripped off the fretboard. Ted Breaux unwound the pickups to '50s specs. The middle pickup is not connected. A .0047uF capacitor was added to the bridge pickup lead wire. The hardware on the nameplate, tuners, jackplate, pickups, and Bigsby are now slot head screws. The tuners are real '50s Grover sta-tites. I added an original phillips stud and brushed aluminum arm on the Bigsby and the black paint was removed. I added a new pickguard in the shape of Lennon's with the correct knob placement, mounted off the body with rubber bushings. The switch tip is cream. The bridge is the Bigsby bowtie. The jackplate is a repro of Lennons elongated Combo 850 style. The strap buttons are from a '50s Fender. I put them in a vise to get them oval. The knobs are repro Hofners. The correct knobs for the Hamburg mapleglo look should be the Zenith radio knobs. I have a set on order from Japan. The strings are .013 ga. Pyramid flatwounds. I was very concerned after all this work that the guitar would not sound and play as well. It looks great and plays even better. This is my third 325v59. I was not comfortable with playing a shortscale guitar. This one really plays great.
