Should I take a well-needed break?

[jch]

You've made the right decision Jake.

Just a quick question, should I try something different and convert it into one of these:


My dream 12-string IS a 1993/12...

The money from the sale of my 660/12TP will be to find a new 6-string 1997 or 1998 (1997SPC). (NO-ONE SAY A WORD)

You started it.

I know a girl who wouldn't sell her repaired guitar for any amount

I wondered why my ears were burning.

Sell? Heck, I'm still paying for her.

Geez, my head is spinning from all the whiplash in these posts. At this point in the thread, Jake, I think the answer to your OP subject heading is "yes." And please send me some pics, I'll get you a second opinion if you like, plus I really want to see this train wreck! Sorry if I sound harsh, but you asked for it, dude!

Drama!

[antipodean]

Jake,

I applaud your decision yesterday to take on the repair as a long-term project. Good on you!

Given it's a long-term gig, I'm not sure we're ready to hear plans for extensive modification quite yet. Let's keep those ideas for another day....

Holy moly dude, 1 step at a time

Yep, the repair is the only way. You'll still have a rare-ish 1997, and in addition it will carry some of that Townshend-la-mojo. My 1997's are such wonderful players, I'd fix them no matter what happened to them. Well, except if one accidently brushed up against Paris Hilton and caught cooties.

I think that all it takes is to be in the same room...I hear she brushes against a lot.

That's the spirit Jake! Never let 'em see ya sweat!

I am restoring the guitar OVER THE SUMMER WITH MY GRADUATION MONEY. I have already talked to Larry Davis. When I am ready, he will do the work for me. I was intrigued by what amazing work he did to Paul A's 360WB and Kevin K's 350V63.

There ya go, Jake! A goal and a guitar after! Good decision.

A little late here, but geez Jake, sorry to hear about your Rick!! I also think you've made the right decision.
