Whenever I put more than 1 picture up they always get in the wrong order. Anyhow, these are now pictures of after and before.....guy by the name of Larry Davis in Georgia......unbelieveable.......highly recommended!!!

Wow Craig. That's quite a transformation.

I agree Larry does amazing work.

Wow, too bad. I really liked what that guitar had going for it. The tortoise shell accents and binding, maple glow, gold hardware. This this really was a period piece. Who moded it out originally? Was it factory? Cause if it was, wow.

Originally it was a plain white 330 that had aged into a splotchy yellow. Larry and I decided to make it double bound tortoise shell with cream purfling, all gold hardware, fretboard inlays,open backed waverlys,tortoise pick guard with cream binding and custom knobs. It looks better in person.

Ah, ok. I though it was the other way around. I'm usually not huge into rick modifications but this is a rare instance, for me, that everything kinda works. I like it.

It's none of my business, but what would a modification on this scale coast you?

..... all gold hardware, -----

Craig, how did you manage to golden the accent and the toaster covers, was it done by a special galvanisation customwise ?
Looks cool !

I like the birds. Nice touch, kind of PRS like.

Malchik.......it costs in the teens somewhere.....it all depends on what you want and what you have.
Alex.....you just send the parts you want plated gold ( or anything else ) to a good plating shop.....piece 'o cake!!!

What a great transformation!
That horrific mapleglo with the weird gold hardware... the new white finish is much better


Just kidding

When you upload images the order is REVERSED. The first one you upload is the one at the bottom.

[wittyair]

I've got that figured out now!!!!

Nicely done!

BTW, one can edit the order of the pictures in the post itself (during the initial posting or the time in which the post can be edited) by selecting the bracketed text and then either copying or dragging it to the desired location in the message.

De gustibus non est disputandum.

Should be the motto of all Ric sites.

(There is no arguing about tastes).

Period.

I live in Georgia. It looks like I should take my guitars to Larry when I need work done. Your after photos look great.

I saw this guitar while Larry was working on it. He only lives about six miles from me, and has quite a shop.
