un-did my mistake

[elasticman]

a couple months ago I sold my '69 lefty F20 in a fit of GAS. From the moment I walked out of the Postal Center to ship it, I regretted that sale. Really missed the tone. Wasn't crazy about the narrow nut but later realized that I can work with it.

Well, I soon found a beautifule '74 RIGHTY and had it converted. This guitar actually sounds better than that '69 if that's possible! The luthier did a fantastic job. Upgraded to a bone saddle and bridge.

Best of all, it's a BURST :shock: I always wanted a burst.

Congratulations for correcting your mistake so quickly. And congratulations to your luthier, as well, for such an apparently skillful conversion.

Very pretty. Nicely done!!

Looks like a really nice conversion, for both the guitar and for yourself ( :lol: ) A good luthier can work miracles.

I've also walked away from guitars that I should have kept.

And I've kept guitars that I should have walked away from.....
so, between you and me, we've created a nice balance! :wink:

What a gorgeous hunk of Guild... Congratulations. An F-20 has been on my wish list for some time... one of these days...

I kicked myself, too, the day I gave up my GF-25 in a GAS induced coma. I finally replaced it with one that I named after my granddaughter so hopefully I'll never let it go... :roll: :wink:

O.K Ken, now you've mentioned your regret of selling the Fonz a few times recently. Since I am the current owner of that said guitar, I'm startin to feel a little guilty

 

[Scratch]

Guilty? You should feel pleased, Bob!!! Lick that humidity issue yet?

If you also mean to say that you've bought guitars that you should have walked away from, then we are truly in sync.
