I think I’m going nuts ! I thought I posted this but I can’t find it even after a search so I guess I didn’t , or did I ? Hmmmmm …….

ok so I got the Recording king RO318 aged Adirondack Top African mahogany bank and sides and Rosewood finger board and bridge .

Bone nut and saddle and plastic pins .

As I did with the RO-328 I upgraded the pins to Fozzilized Walrus jaw bone .

in this case though I don’t know why other then inconsistency replacing the pins took me to ordering a 3deg or T1 pin size ream .

I just got it yesterday and fitted the pins . You’ll see before and after shots but just to the pin height . Sanding these out would of taken forever. Lol

A beauty, Ray! Congratulations!

Thanks , she’s a pretty good guitar the 328 is better at least to me . But for 599 and all solid Adirondack top that ain’t bad at all .
Im thinking hard to give her to my son who doesn’t want to play so I’ll just make him . Lol

Make 'im pay his dues like the rest of us: raise the action about another quarter of an inch first. 😁
