BGD: Orpheum 12

[chazmo]

All Strung up with some new JP PBs.

I only drew a little blood this time.

 

[GGJaguar]

New strings, hurray! Go forth and play!

Man, that looks sweet!

That sure is a beautiful guitar. Great to see an instrument so well kept, too.

That top grain looks a lot like my old hog SH 12 fretter.

Purdy!

Very likely, it could be from the same flitch, beecee... It's a nice, straight grained Adirondack top.

Looks a lot like the top on the Orpheum OM 14 fret rosewood prototype I used to own.

I sure wish the top was as nice on my current Orpheum OM!

I did some cleanup tonight and took a bunch of pictures of the interior as well as the exterior. I don't know how much has been shown before of the interior of an Orpheum, but the cleanliness and attention to detail during manufacture is obvious. Anyway, just FYI. The reddish color on some of these has something to do with my iPhone camera settings, but it's not real... And, I think that black piece is on the top of the neck block is the end of the truss rod (or some sort of guide for it. I'm not sure

Oh, @SFIV1967 , if you wish me to take any other shots of the interior let me know. I probably won't put the strings on until tomorrow.

Sweet !

Looks a lot like the top on the Orpheum OM 24 fret rosewood prototype I used to own.

Sounds like a very rare prototype with 24 frets!
