It makes more sense that having a low action setup would do that and why I am not used to it happening as when my 660/12's action was too high, it was never an issue as far as the strings touching the neck or buzzing because it was too low. That plus I prefer higher action for lead on my other ...

Well played jps. I had a feeling someone would do that. But I still say they do not play better than most other guitars for lead - I didn't say you couldn't play lead on them.

I guess it simply comes down to money. It would cost a decent amount to refinish it properly, but I don't have the funds right now. In a year or so, the financial situation is going to change dramatically in my household so I suppose I could consider it at that time. The yellowing is not as hard to ...

That's how McGuinn does it!

I know, I have one of his videos from ages ago. No thanks!

I prefer the look of a completely yellowed Blue Boy, its mint green is a very col color. So, I say leave it alone and see how it progresses, especially, as you have no plans to sell the guitar for 30-40 years.

Why have two guitars with the same, exact boring BB color? :mrgreen:
That IS an ...

Thanks guys. I have seen Larry Davis' name come up here time and time again.

As far as how bad it is - if you put it next to my 660, you can clearly see it's green (especially the headstock which is entirely green and all around the pickups). The two horns and back of neck are mostly blue. A few ...

- Would the finish feel like my 660, in other words would I or anyone know it was re-done?
If you were to eventually resell the guitar, would you let prospective buyers know it was refinished?
Absolutely, but that could be in 30-40 years from now and I have no intention of ever selling it (or my ...

Hi guys. I am torn about this. I have a Blue Boy 350v63 that I bought unseen that had minty green in spots with yellow/greenish spots all over it. I was able to easily get the yellowish parts off but some of mint green seems to be tough to fix without a lot of effort, if at all. And even if I were ...

Change Is Now solo would be Clarence White.
Tribal Gathering is likely McGuinn on a 6 string.

I have scatterwound toasters on my 2004 660/12 and I love the sound through any compressor. I am not being very picky about it, though I know it's much better sounding than my friend's 360/12 with hi-gain pickups (his sound dull by comparison). Mine have clarity, chime and that jangle. Nice you ...
