That's my hamfisted attempt at getting this guy up to speed. Well I got as far as I could get with it by myself, but I decided that it deserved a better fate than to live in Player's Condition Limbo. So off it went to Kim Keller and the Guild Custom Shop! It's not in my hands yet (cross your fingers over the gentle hands of UPS shippers) but here are a few "graduation" pics Kim sent over. Feel free to compare them to the pics in my reclamation thread link (old thread from the LTG carryover so some image links could be broken)- as you can see, the biggest things done were a neck reset and re-binding, and a new nitro coat. Oh Yeah!

rebinding is a big deal. Nice!

Congrats on what looks like a really excellent renovation. That really is gorgeous tiger-stripe.

Neat to look back at the original thread after seeing these latest pics. An awesome guitar!

Well considering how big an overhaul it needed, not bad at all. A while back I sold my Blues 90 to cover it, if that gives you an idea of the range.

Oh and UPS sent me this!
