Eh... Stephen King, that is (one of my favorite writers, BTW... but i'd prefer it written, not done)Image

"This Old Gretsch" I'd much rather see "This Old RIC". Paul and Dale would be the congenial hosts and Pamela Lee (or whatever her name is today) would be the hostess (with the mostess). Whaddya think? :-P

Paul, this model Gretsch ('64 Tennessean) originally had painted on f-holes!
At some point in its sad past some axe murderer decided to transform them into real f-holes. Perhaps some binding could be added to clean it up? I'll have to look into it.

David, Look no further. If anything could be done to fix it, you're in the right place, right thread.

Paul - Very early in this thread you mentioned a 1/8" pilot shank bit. Where did you get it?

Paul, How is that 350V63MG coming along with the F-Hole? I'm curious to see.
