Awfully cool. Nice to see that these original parts still exist. A little sad to think that they will continue to be separated from V81. By that I am not advocating swapping the original parts for the replacements--whatever we think of the 1972 repairs, John approved them at the time. But posterity would appreciate the old pickguard and tuners returning into V81's case, or vault, or closet, or wherever it lives today.
Obsessive-compulsive 325c58 owners may be disappointed to see the original tuners stamped "Grover" and not "Ric-Tite." Future Lennonizers of yet-un-Lennonized c58s will need to add "Grover"-stamped tuners to their shopping lists along with Bigsbys and bowtie bridges
