Joined: March 2007 Posts: 665 Location: Tychy, Poland | Yesterday i took few pictures of my guitars and i think i've found a name for my Legend. A Scar: Considering amount of beating that guitar received from previous owners, it's amazing that she still plays so good. btw. neck under 16 fret started to lift again. any ideas? or leave it alone? to be honest i don't use that position. | ||

Joined: March 2007 Posts: 665 Location: Tychy, Poland | i don't know where bomb went off. guitar had top repaired (that's actually after repair - it was broken and it was sinking inside) Neck was broken near headstock (but headstock was not detached) so that ebony part was needed to stabilize neck. all cracks are stabilized and since 6 months, there wasn't any changes if it comes to them. Except that neck was straightened (because it was twisted and with a lot of "bumps"), chipped part of headstock replaced, electronics repaired and bowl patched (last photo) To be honest, the only thing i don't like in that guitar's look is that small lighter circle which was created by some sticker. | ||
