Finally a few Pics of my new (76) F50R!!

[2Tone]

She has a few bumps and bruises but I think she has aged rather gracefully...

Just a teaser, pictures below :mrgreen:

 

[2Tone]

Tada!!!

 

[shepke]

Nice one! Love that rosewood. I'll bet it sounds great too. Don't think of them as bumps and bruises think of them as character.

Thanks for posting the pics so we could all drool a little. :wink:

I keep one handy whenever I log on to LTG, for obvious reasons.
Wouldn't want to ruin a nice shirt! :lol:

Welcome to the F-50R club, 2tone. She's a beauty alright!

 

[2Tone]

Thanks all! I feel very blessed to have found this old girl. Stephan that is a pretty sweet looking F50 you have yourself, the Rosewood is gorgeous!
I am a little curious on the neck binding varieties for this particular model, mine has two thin stripes running down either side of the neck binding while it appears Stephan's has none. I saw another 76 out on eBay and it had the "pin striped" binding but also noticed that the new ones don’ have it. Are these stripes year specific?

Thanks,

Tom

 

[chazmo]

Tom, I think Steffan might have the black strips in the binding, but it's hard to see. My experience is that the widths changed over time.

Just to be clear, you're talking about the white plastic binding, right? Not the railroad tracks on fingerboard.

Tom,
I don't see any bumps or bruises, just beauty marks. Beautiful guitar.

Mine has the two stripes your talking about, it's an '09.

[2Tone]

You are correct Chaz, I am talking about the white neck binding. Thanks for the clarification
