Congratulations! :)

Thanks Bert. Without wishing to derail the thread I'm actually really worried about what it's going to be like and I couldn't really afford it (although I paid way less then the asking price; still, the import duty will more than rectify that!). Of course I also can't really play it at the moment due to the tendonitis. But you know how Azure GAS is :lol:...

Congrats, Shaun, I hope tendinitis goes away quickly so you can enjoy the Azureglo!
JETGLO should officially be renamed JETGLO ROCKS! :-)

OK, I finally got a coloured scan of Pete Agnew's FG Rick:

And it has the same mark on top of the finger rest as the one on the wall

...and on the upper horn there is a kind of "dog foot imprint" on all three pics (slightly visable above Roger's head), the "missing link"! :D

So the Fireglo one is a '72 or '73; shedua "skunk" stripe with full-width inlays.

Seeing all these vintage pics and videos of Roger Glover has left me with one nagging conclusion...Do we have him to blame for the mullet?? :lol:

Yeah, right here in Milwaukee. That was several years ago, I want to say 2004?

Thanks for posting that!

It's amazing the expert craftsman and artisans ferreted away in the least likely of places. I get asked that a lot, 'Why Appleton'? Well, you gotta live somewhere!

I'm not sure about the timing, but there have been a good number of posts about Glover's mods and possible restoration in this thread and others, and I'd never come across the website I linked to. So, it seemed like the "latest" to me! Seven years behind the times? Looks like I'm catching up...
