Good stuff. I too am happy to be in the O.S. club ('65 refin matte natural and '67 360/12 WBBS). Lovely instruments.

:lol: "refinished natural" bit of a misnomer, but kinda true. That's a great guitar!

I'm fact, if you recall Kenny, your '65 and Dan's '65 are only a handful of digits apart, likely from the same batch.

Congrats, Collin! 8) How about making a 6 string version of GH's 12 string 360 OS guitar out of it? :wink:

I'll bet you had somebody in mind, who would probably crave such a GH quasi-almost guitar, for some photo exhibit. :roll:

Very nice, Dan, congrats! Beautiful pair!

That's a special model, it's twin graces the front cover of the RIttor Music book, it's iconic. Not many made that year, it has the then-new feature of CPI fretboard introduced in mid-1961, a feature that then vanished until 1964.

If you put your ear up to the soundhole, you can hear the waves at Tatado Beach! :D

I use "Refin Matte Natural" to differentiate it from Mapleglo. It was like that when I got it, and I like its Casino-during-Let-It-Be vibe.

Thanks Jeff! :)

I'm actually thinking about adding 6 more strings to it and turning it into a Suzi Arden replica.
