Lovely! Collin enjoys the hunt more then anything else I think!!

This is the one from Japan?

Just Wow! Dan, that's a honey!

Way to go! Congrats!

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

"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! How about making a 6 string version of GH's 12 string 360 OS guitar out of it?

Ohh-h-h-h ---- you're bad, Jeff ! !
I'll bet you had somebody in mind, who would probably crave such a GH quasi-almost guitar, for some photo exhibit.

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!

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.

Me? Dan's the one with the new guitar!

Well then, I'll redirect this to Dan. Dan?

Thanks Jeff!

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