Got this from a friend last week. This guitar has seen some serious playing time, showing much wear on the frets and fingerboard. (The original HSC is hammered, but intact.) Plays great, and I love the V profile neck. 

 

Fingerboard and fret wear. I'll probably have the frets leveled.

Grain detail. The top is beautiful. Looks like a jar of honey.

Nice. Is it a deep or shallow bowl?

Thanks for the upgrade.

I actually got this guitar from a long-time member of this forum, not sure what his user name is. It plays beautifully, and sounds like a much bigger guitar. I'll probably get the frets leveled and crowned, some of them are quite hammered.
