Not too much of a 'burst on this '67.

I have got my 325V59 back with a new finish and new frets. Does it not look beautiful? Today I am the happiest man on earth, I guess

Is that off-white? I think I can see some woodgrain under there...
Here are three: A stock 325C58 and an AFG 1996, and my modded 325 with two knobs, a pinned Kaufmann, and aged Autumnglo finish.

That looks really cool, Markus. I'd like to see that on some other Ricks as well.

Paul, the picture looks a little too bright. Actually this is a clear, natural finish (some kind of mapleglo), but the guitar was slightly bleached before the new lacquer was applied. Now it looks a little brighter than maple would normally look, but if you see it in the daylight, it does not look "white" at all. Here is another photograph:

Thanks, Paul. I feel like a little child at christmas. I am sooo happy: my favorite guitar just got even better. I cannot believe it still!
Your three 325s also look beautiful. Could you post more detailed photographs - especially of the one in autumnglo?
Why did you leave the Kaufmann vibrato on these guitars? Would it not be a better idea to replace them? (Sorry, I am just curious.)

The 325 originally came with an "R" tailpiece. I added an NOS Kaufmann for looks, and it's been pinned.
The C58 comes, of course, with the Kaufmann, and I've had no problem keeping it in tune. I don't use the vibrato much on this guitar.

That explains it!

What I really mean, JB, is that I don't dive-bomb. I do use it as it was meant, for a bit of "shimmer" (shimmy?). Still, stays in tune remarkably well. Overuse leads to cramped (*******?) hand and finish damage.

Paul, I played a 325C58 once in s ahop in Frankfurt and I cannot believe how somebody can use the Kaufmann vibrato, if the use is not limited to never touching it ...
Nevertheless I love the C58 ... This is the 325 still missing in my collection ...
Once again ... could you post a picture of your autumnglo 325?
