Nice resurrection job, Lyle. And Kira, that's a nice jangle of Ricks you have there (well, what would you call a group of these things?).

My first Rick, acquired in 1994, turns 45 this month. Need to give her a good birthday polish and take a better photo.

One of my first posts here was about it. Thread below:

viewtopic.php?f=22&t=390127&p=558170#p558170

It's a refin/repaired '64 375. Was originally FG, now JG. Long pole toasters. X bracing. Tiny neck. I replaced the roller bridge with a new standard bridge in 1995 (kept the original, of course). I've put the original PG back on with the fifth knob now wired for middle volume. She's had a hard life, but still has the mojo workin'.

Sweet 16 - right on, Dan!

I checked out the link on the history of your guitar. Fascinating read! Glad you were able to retrieve the guitar before any more hammer blows were dealt. Kudos to you for keeping it intact as a player!

Ah, ok. Not too difficult to persuade me to show off any of my guitars!! Here are one or two pics of the birthday boys (and yes, mine are all boys).
My 330 and it's original owner. Look who it is on stage with!!

Yes; cool photos. Sorry, I must be out of the loop on who's Who in the photo. (apologies again for the bad pun.) I don't recognize the guitar's original owner, but the other man at the mic looks to be Roger Daltrey. Little help?
