Remember this Capri from last year?

: G'Day Guys, been a while since I've had something worthy to share, but I'm sure some of you will remember this one from last year, when it appeared on eBay. Well after having it evaluated by Larry Davis, I decided to take a plunge and buy it and get Larry to bring the guitar back to a more worthy state.

: New fret board CP inlays. Sorry I can't seem to enlarge the pics to give better detail, so I guess you'll have to take my word that it's something worth having now! :)

: New gold guards and a B5 to replace the Fender Vibrato

: Re gluing of split wings on headstock, new vintage tuners, paint touch up on TRC

: Once again Larry has done a fabulous job for me.

Ron

Yes Kevin, Larry's kicked another goal, I wouldn't have bought the guitar if he hadn't asurred me he could rectify the many issues it had! So I'm really pleased with the outcome.

Yes I'm wrapped, never thought I'd ever be in a position to own one but it's funny how things work out at times!
