Had my SFDR refurbished

I took my '77 SFDR to a tech in Austin to have it refurbished in light of the fact that I'm planning on giving it to my soon to be 18 year old nephew as birthday present. The tech installed new caps and reversed the mods that the previous owner(s) had installed.

The trouble is, now I may have to start looking for something else for my nephew's birthday. :lol:

Paul, I took care of that ten years ago. I think he has five or six guitars by now. :D

I had my early '70s Princeton Reverb refurbished by Wayne at Headstrong Amps. What a great amp it is!!! :D

Oh, yeah, the photo jogs my memory! I think it inspired me to get the ES-16 for Juliana.

Richard, send it to your long lost cousin in Fredericton. That way you will be able to keep it in the family. :lol:

BTW, here's a picture of Bobby & I that was taken earlier in the summer. He's grown up a little from the picture I posted earlier.
