I thought I had started a thread on this forum about this particular guitar but I can't find it.
So, as you may recall I bought this one on Reverb because it was a good deal and the seller said it was in mint condition. It was not in mint condition but it did sound great. The seller offered me a fair credit if I kept the guitar so I did. I then sent it to Tom Jacobs who did the following work:
-Refinished the headstock overlay. He removed the old tuners and finish, cleaned everything up and resprayed it. It looks great now
-Re-glued the bridge
-Installed new bone nut, saddle and bridge pins
-Checked the electronics out and then set it up and restrung it
It sounded great from the start but now looks great as well. I was going to sell it but now I'm not so sure. I have fewer Mahogany guitars than any other tonewood and this one just kinda grabbed me. It sounds every bit as good if not better than any D 40 I've owned or my DV 6. It didn't show real well in the pics but the Mahogany back on this one is exceptional.
Anyway, here's a few pics.
