NGD - '79 SF-4

[acmedrygoods]

This is the SF-4 I received from Jeffmac yesterday. Just an amazing guitar and the HB-1s are magic. The neck is a very different feel than the Newark St SF V I had for a while. I'm really liking it and it is just so pretty I had to share.

That is a seriously nice looking guitar and I bet those HB-1s sound fantastic. Congrats.

They don't make em like that anymore.

Nice. Looks like a little bird's eye on the front. Does that back have it too?

 

[Harp Tail]

Congratulations - that vintage burst is spectacular!

Very clean guitar on top of that!

Both the front and the back have some very pretty knots and bird's eyes (the back especially) but they don't appeared to be mirrored. I didn't know that laminates would be selected from the same slice of wood but that would be very cool.

When you say "mirrored" I think what you mean is that the top and back are not bookmatched... That looks right, acme... These are one piece. I think both back and top are laminations. Not sure about that at all, though!

A gorgeous forty-something above all other considerations

I love good flame, but there's something wonderful about these plainer '70s Starfires.
