Very nice, David. Looks much like my '97 Jetglo 325V59 which I Lennonized. I notice that the base of the bridge on yours has not been filed down where it meets the pickguard. Do your strings line up properly on the fretboard with it like that?

yes it all seems to line up fine i dont see wat yr ...

a couple more. this guitar come from japan and the case doesnt close. only the middle latch works if this helps lol im not too worried about finding the serial number or anything just have a look at it and let me know wat u guys think.

some more

hi guys heres some more pics. sorry if they look the same as the others ive posted. i just took anything and everything lol

Good idea, Peter...the pictures are on page 1 of this thread and there are some more detailed ones later.

A fully-Lennonized lefty 325v59MG...might be the only one the world! (Or at least outside of Japan! :lol: )


u guys are making me wonder if i should just keep it in its case and not touch it ...

Karl, sometimes they take a while to get back to people. I remember that I waited a while before they got back to me about ordering. My advice is to be patient, despite it being somewhat frustrating. Their boots are worth the wait.

I can appreciate that, but I was hoping to have the boot's within ...

im going to try 10s on it first and see how it goes . i know it probably wont sound as good but i can always work my way back up. i think i was struggling with the 12s cos im used to 10s and also used to playing a full size guitar. so maybe i just need time to play it and get used to it. it is alot ...
