IMHO-guard was changed--White binding=white guard and TRC

O.K I need some better pics! Even better:

I believe 4001 Mapleglow = White guard originally. I do think it's a great color combo and just as good with white binding and chrome. How bout doing what I did-go get a white guard/binding Mapleglow and add the black guard. Looks even better facing the wrong way

Merry Christmas John! You've made me believe in Santa Claus and I'm Jewish! I've been enjoying your gift very much and you've restored my faith-I owe you!

How bout tweaking that G string up a semitone?

Seems dad's attic also contained a nice old Gibson banjo-also on the bay. The ad say's its from the 50's but just from what little I know, the headstock reads "The Gibson", making it much older I think!

Surprised it hasn't been pulled yet.

Hey, I was just thinking maybe I should mount that Ampeg logo on the opposite side!

FYI, the backwards case has always been a bit of an issue as it tilts badly when carried. Guess they didn't consider the backwards issue when the handle was mounted!

Yeah, I bet Macca's heard that alot. I just chalk up comments like that to viewer dyslexia
I just want one more-maybe well see this from the Ric outlet

I'm still learning too but the truss rod cover lettering looks "off". I'd post mine to compare but it's lefty. Back of headstock photo shows crooked mounting of tuners. White pickup selector knob? Neck pickup chrome bezel looks wrong-the bezel looks too wide along it's long dimension and the pickup ...
