Would you like to play this as you slooowly expose more parts of the guitar??

Double-butted?

Yes, Wheelsmith 1.8 - 1.5 - 1.8 x 310mm, unobtainium locally, these are about as long as spokes got, for an 80's 27" rim Raleigh that was left for dead a couple decades ago. Had more stuff wrong with it than you could shake a stick at, a busted rear axle threw me for a loop, but the upside is that I reconnected with a bike shop I went to decades ago, dude found me an axle within minutes, so then I proceeded to drop a couple hundies there, including some neat knobby Cyclocross 27 x 1/8" tires ;]

Just a quick note--I do intend a full write-up with pictures this weekend. I spent a happy hour playing the guitar last night It is quite articulate but not as unforgiving of my flubs as I'd feared a maple guitar might be. As far as I can tell, the maple is just gorgeous. The guitar does need a set-up and new strings, but I think I'm going to like it a lot.

GA, I think we need some pix of your bicycle restomod here (or in the misc section)!! I presume you're talking about a 10-speed frame and not a "Chopper" back wheel, right? I had a Chopper back in the '70s. When that was stolen from my garage, that was one of the low points of my childhood (in oh so many ways). Never got that back.

Now THAT IS identical to the late Mr. P's guitar. It didn't happen to come from Alabama did it?

I was curious about that too, Jim. There's certainly not many of them out there.

I sold it to Jeff, having bought it from Richard Peterson. Where it was before that, I don't know. Maybe Richard P can inform us.

OK, so that can't be Curtis's old guitar then.

It's here, and it's a big one. Not in terms of size, but in terms of significance, in that (a) it's a special edition produced to mark a Guild anniversary (the 45th), and (b) it's one of the few Guilds produced by Fender's Nashville Custom Shop.

I'll write a NGD post once I've had some time with it. Meanwhile, I'll just say that, as far as my malfunctioning eyes can tell, it's gorgeous.

The inlay is crooked !!!! Haha no it’s not just had to say it to get you all going . Lmao

Can’t what for more pics enjoy !
