Thank you my friend!
How is that F50R coming? Get it back yet?
In my untrained eye that looks to be in pretty fair shape for a 45 year old guitar.
Hitting the road for 3 hours. Gotta do some outside work in 20 degree weather today.
Dismantling the battery bank on a PV system on my cabin. Inaccessible in winter.
I see bourbon in my near future!!!
No Problem. The F50R should be back in the next week or so, maybe a little longer with Thanksgiving next week. I am really looking forward to getting it back and getting some "Bonding" time with it. My Luthier has just been so swamped with all of the poor Flood Guitars from Harvey. I applaud him though for trying to save as many as he can. Also I know that if it takes a little bit longer than expected to get it back it will still be worth wait. Quality work is not something you rush and My Luthier makes sure that everything is done right with the proper curing and set up times so that everything stays the way it should for years to come.
Good looking F312! Being the year it is this is Westerly made model with a nice East Indian RW back. Some of the late 60's model F312's have Brazilian RW back and sides to them which is why they command higher prices. Overall it looks good and if the action is great where it is now I don't see any issues from the photos. There appears to be enough saddle for a decent break angle and the top looks in good shape. Interested to hear your review when it gets there!
Almost forgot, If the weather is that cold where you are make sure to let the F312 acclimate to the house temperature when it arrives for 12-24 hours before opening the box, Then let the case acclimate a while too before opening so you don't wind up getting severe Finish Checking in the F312 from a sudden temperature change. Have a Good one and be safe, thumbs up to the Bourbon!
